A social engineering experiment involving three Inuit boys takes place in the 1960s. The three boys are taken from their homes in the Arctic, placed with white families, and attend school in Ottawa. All three become successful in early adulthood. Peter Ittinuar becomes the first Inuk Member of Parliament, Zebedee Nungak becomes president of a major economic and political organization, and Eric Tagoona became president of the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada. However, the experiment robs the three of their parents, their language, and their culture and results in ongoing personal and societal challenges for each man. This program examines the assimilation experiment and its continuing impact on the men.--Ministry of Education website.
