Cooking with Hot Stones

Journey back two hundred years to rediscover the history of Fort Assiniboine. Celebrating the first nations, early voyageurs, and key figures in the development of the fur trade, travel to the Pacific Coast and the Klondike Gold Rush in this documentary that proudly presents a history of the land, the river, and the people.

My take

A richly layered journey through centuries of North American frontier history, told with reverence for the Indigenous peoples and adventurers who shaped the land. This is the kind of documentary that rewards your full attention—meditative, grounded, and deeply rooted in place and people.
