Ancestors Calling - a 1 hour special - airing Saturday, May 30, 9 pm Central on Wild TV.

In 1804, the North West Company brought voyageurs, proprietors, interpreters, and clerks into the Rocky Mountain district near the present town of Jasper, Alberta. A new culture, traditions, and a way of life was born. The indigenous Shuswap and Beaver Indians intermingled with the new French, Scottish and Iroquois immigrants. The Mountain Métis, a horseback culture emerged from this unique blend of people. "Ancestors Calling" shares the rich culture through music and stories of award-winning musician Laura Vinson; a descendent of the early voyageur Louis Loyer.
