:07:06
I really don't need much.
:07:08
Something to feed the fellows
writing the profiles.

:07:10
- What profiles?
- Oh, just the usual stuff.

:07:14
I hear there's a writer out of North Bay
working up a big piece on you.

:07:18
"Workin' up"?
How?

:07:21
Talking to people who know you.
Going to places you've been.

:07:25
Let's do this.
:07:28
Okay. You're Ojibwa.
We know that.

:07:31
- And you're 40...
- Forty-one.

:07:34
So where were you born?
:07:36
I was born in Mexico.
:07:38
Hermosillo.
:07:41
What about your parents?
:07:45
My father was a Scotsman,
scout in the Indian wars.

:07:48
My mother was an Apache,
Jacarilla band.

:07:53
Apache? Wait.
So you're not Ojibwa.

:07:56
No. I lived with
the Bear Island Ojibwa for 13 years.

:08:00
Everything I know
I learned from them.

:08:02
Hmm.
:08:05
- So your father...
- Parents are both dead.

:08:09
- Leave it at that, shall we?
- Sure.

:08:12
Your book is gonna be
very big in England, Archie.

:08:16
We want to lay on a major
promotional tour. We want you there.

:08:20
- England?
- You'll appear in full Indian rig.

:08:23
You'll speak.
We'll show Bill's film.

:08:25
They'll be crazy for you.
:08:28
No.
:08:30
You don't mean that.
:08:32
You're an author
with something to say.

:08:35
You want people to hear it,
don't you?

:08:36
Canada is part
of the British Empire.

:08:39
London is where the power is.
:08:41
- We'll look after you.
- No!

:08:43
Forget it.
:08:49
What's the problem?
:08:50
You want me...
:08:54
You want me to stand up there and
be stared at like some circus freak?

:08:58
Why would I want to do that?
