Where great airships roared across the runways at Gander Field, gateway to the western world. Where the products of the sea are packed in the busy factories of Saint John's, and where the gentle, courageous dogs who bear the island's name are bred. All these are part of Newfoundland.
Newfoundlanders have lived by the sea, carving out a unique identity for themselves long before they became part of Canada just 75 years ago. And boy, did they initially resist joining.
Historian Dr. Jeff Webb examines the political and economic factors, and the controversies that still linger today, showcasing Newfoundland's complex road to Confederation.
Mark Manning shares how Newfoundland's rich culture, storytelling traditions, and music capture the spirit of the island's identity before and after Confederation, exemplified in the band's song '1949'.
