Updates from John Houston!

As our constant readers will know, John Houston has been busy in the editing room, finishing up his 6th film.  Today he is delivering"The White Archer" to the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN).  For John's first attempt at drama, he chose to adapt a children's book by his father, the late  James Houston.  

In this Inuit legend, a youth trains to become a great archer. Will Kanguq use this new power to avenge his family, or will he put an end to the cycle of violence? 

APTN Broadcast Dates are: February 9, 2010 in Inuktitut AND April 7, 2010 in English.

John has dedicated this film to the memory of Thomasie Alikatuktuk (1953 - 2009)

Thomasie's talent and his hard work and his focus helped make Pangnirtung famous for printmaking.  He was a true artist, and brought this dedication to everything he did, going on to become an Inuit leader, president of Qikiqtani Inuit Association, and a good family man - so proud of his children.

John will be joining us in 2010 on both NWP Expeditions and on our Greenland Explorer. For more information, please click here.
