Stories from Our Land - Family Making Sleds / directed by: Rosie Bonnie Ammaaq ; produced by: David Christensen, David Christensen ; production agency: National Film Board of Canada (Montreal).
A man threads rope through runners and slats, expertly tying the knots that hold them together. Meanwhile, a woman and her child cut up cardboard, shaping and decorating the pieces to create their own stylized sleds. Family Making Sleds is an homage to the skill of building sleds that also captures the sheer joy of using them to race downhill.
