George Johnston was a hunter, trapper, entrepreneur and photographer. This man, whose Tlingit name was Kaash KlaÕ, documented his family at work and play, and the Yukon community of Teslin, where he lived. The Tlingit are indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. The film is an engaging portrait of an extraordinary man and the evocative photos he took documenting a fascinating part of Canadian history.
