Go to http://www.nfb.ca/e/ and enter "kayak" in the search field. This will bring up
several films, including the three part series. According to the site, you can buy them
online.
It also states they can be viewed in Montreal. That's as good a reason as I can think
of for visiting! :-) Then to Ottawa (2 hrs drive) for the Museum of Civilization, then
to Merrickville (1hr more) for the CRCA Canoe Museum then to Peterborough
(3 hr more) for the Canadian Canoe Museum. You'll see lots of kayak and Inuit
culture stuff on that road trip (the kayak exhibits in Peterborough are awesome).
