Diaries, letters and archival documents tell the stories of those who shaped this country, in their own words.

These episodes range from ancient history and the stories passed down through native oral tradition to the first electric encounters between natives and Europeans, and from the wrenching battles that engulf the continent to the mass migration of Loyalists and the War of 1812. The dramatic stories of Canada's beginnings unfold on a spectacular, forbidding landscape. Based on: Canada: a people's history / Don Gillmor and Pierre Turgeon.

Episode 1: When the world began. (15000 - 1800 AD) Episode 2: Adventurers & mystics. (1540 - 1670) Episode 3: Claiming the Wilderness (1670 - 1754) Episode 4: Battle for a Continent (1755 - 1775) Episode 5: A Question of Loyalties (1775 - 1815)
The first episode covers 15,000 BC to 1800 AD. From the rich resource of native oral history comes the stories of the first occupants of the territory that would become Canada: how dozens of distinct societies took shape, and the electrifying moments of their first contact with a strange new people, the Europeans. The second episode covers 1540 to 1670. The search for the Northwest Passage and the expansion of the Grand Banks fishery make the New World a destination for Europeans in the 16th century. Champlain begins his legendary journeys and the precarious beginnings of New France are established in an era of unprecedented alliances and devastating conflicts.
