Modern v. traditional hunting is shown, as well as modern oil and gas exploration, construction, sealift, and pipeline development. The third videocassette, "Fisheries of the Great Slave", was produced for the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) by Crowley Films.

Examples of both summer and winter fishing are shown.
