Donc ils ont eu une éducation. Ils sont allés aux écoles — enfin à Sciences-Po, ou en école de journalisme. Donc on leur a enseigné. Donc, ils ont appris. Ils ont appris l’Histoire. L’ont régurgitée — dans des copies, puis dans des articles, dans des discussions mondaines. Ils ont vu des documentaires — sur Arte. Des films. Sur la montée.

Good Morning #Canada
#20 on our countdown of #CanadaRivers is the Back River, which flows for 974km across NWT and Nunavut. It drains an area of 106,500 km2, flowing from Contwoyto Lake north of Great Slave Lake, NWT, northeast across the Barren Lands of Nunavut to Chantrey Inlet in the Arctic. The river is named for Sir George Back, who first explored it in 1834. The original name was Thlew-ee-choh, likely Dogrib for "great fish river." It has a vertical drop of just over 380m over it's length with 83 rapids challenging serious canoists and kayakers. The British film, Beacon Six, was televised by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, showing the rugged landscape during a 1962 canoe expedition.
From 1963–1965, anthropologist Jean Briggs did field research with the Utkusiksalinmiut Inuit living at the opening of Back River and Chantrey Inlet, resulting in her work Never in Anger, as well as helping to compile an Utkuhiksalik dictionary.

I had a medium distance/degree cousin who wrote two - yes two! - episodes for this TV series...
And if you listen closely to various episodes you will recognize the voice of the Billionaire John Berrisford Tipton as someone who moonlights for narration jobs on old Disney films or was Orson Wells.
