"Long before Europeans discovered North America, it was inhabited by Indian and Inuit groups. This video tells how one group selects a new chief. The story is set against the background of the carefully preserved customs and rituals of the Tsimshian, a Pacific coastal people. These people provide one of the more accurate pictures of early Indian ways."
