« I signed a contract [with the National Film Board of Canada] for six weeks, to make one film, and it turned into three years and fifteen films: twelve for distribution on various peoples of Canada, and three which I used for lecturing. (They asked me to lecture across Canada with a film we made called Across Wartime Canada, and across the U.S. with a film we called Canadians All.) So production kept me in the field almost all the time. In Eastern Canada, we did two films in Quebec and one in Nova Scotia. Then in the summer we travelled on an Eskimo schooner with a crew of six Eskimos; we worked on the islands north of Hudson's Bay: Baffin [Island], and Southampton, and we went on the walrus hunt with the Eskimos to Coats Island, and then finally Chesterfield, and up to Baker Lake, and finally back down in the same little schooner to Fort Churchill. It was a fabulous summer. We made, in all, three Eskimo films: Eskimo Arts and Crafts; Eskimo Summer, and Arctic Hunters, which ended with a big spectacular walrus hunt. »
