Nanook of the North was the only information that many citizens of the world ever had of Canada. If we allowed this to be all they knew of us, we should not be surprised at their ignorance of our country. If we did not communicate they could not be expected to change their perceptions. Ask yourself, for example if you can name the current leader of Korea, its capital and locate it on a map. I think that the Olympics and our current artists have done a wonderful job of reorienting the world to what Canada is today.
Take a look at the old film and how our native people were represented.
