Synopsis
Brian Jungen and Duane Linklater’s collaborative film Modest Livelihood follows the artists as they set out from Fort St. John, British Columbia, on a series of moose-hunting trips. The film’s premise alludes to a 1999 Canadian Supreme Court ruling that validates First Nations hunting and fishing rights for a “moderate livelihood,” but not in order to accumulate wealth.
