COLOUR REEL - ROYAL TOUR OF CANADA'S NORTHWEST TERRITORIES AND MANITOBA

(20 Jul 1970) Movietone News cameras accompany the Royal Family on their extensive tour of Canada's Northwest Territories, bringing you the highlights of one of the most ambitious journeys ever undertaken by the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne. From the shy but sincere welcome of the Eskimos at Frobisher Bay to a boisterous barbecue at Fort Smith, we share the informality of this exciting trip which brought the Queen into close contact with some of her most isolated subjects. ® Whether chatting with a miner "forty niner" at Yellowstone or smeared with insect repellant to combat mosquitoes at Fort Providence, the Royal Family maintain a cheerfulness that endears them to all. They follow the footsteps of the early frontiersmen through arctic lands no longer inhospitable, and whether amid the Eskimos or Canadian Indians the British Royal family prove they're experts at melting the ice.
