Logline: Join archaeologists, historians, elders and paddlers as they reflect on their trips to York Factory, a unique and fragile Canadian treasure that leaves a lasting impression.

Synopsis: Exploring journeys to the historic site of York Factory, where the Hayes River empties into Hudson's Bay. The names of those working for the HBC for over 270 years still haunt the walls. When the HBC abandoned the depot in 1957, First Nation's communities were relocated inland, but they still call it home. York Factory continues to draw people year after year for gatherings and pilgrimages to this unique and fragile Canadian treasure.
