Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Métis 'flower beadwork' tradition emerged from the 19th-century Red River Settlement, where Cree, Ojibwe, and French-Canadian aesthetics merged into something entirely new.
Vlasta Vrana narrated dozens of NFB shorts in the 70s-80s; this was part of the 'Canada Vignettes' series designed for theatrical filler and educational distribution.
