-I've come to see the Rockies -in all their splendour... | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |

-..on visitors, on locals... | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
-..and on the people who can trace -their ancestors in the Rockies... | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |

-..for others, -it's an escape from everyday life. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
-For me, the mountains -is where we feel a kind of energy. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-I feel more whole... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
-..less stressed by technology -and the pressures of our culture. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
-Not that everything -in the Rockies comes easy. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-It's hard to think about the arms -and legs at the same time. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:57 | |
-I don't want to fall. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
-But if you put the effort in... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-..it's a great experience. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
-For wheelchair users, the freedom of -the slopes transforms their lives. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
-Their eyes dazzling. -Their smiling faces - priceless! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:20 | |

-..have started a strange journey -back to their habitat. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-The dream is -for the bison to return... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-..to graze and roam the land -once more. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
-For First Nations people, -reintroducing the bison... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
-..is like having an old relation -back on the mountains. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-The bison is central -to their legends and customs. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-The Big Spirit gave us the bison -to help sustain our way of life. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:22 | |
-In the Rockies, there's more to -nature than the beautiful landscape. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
-The mountain spirit -permeates through people's lives. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
-The Mountain is our High Chief. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-When you see it, you've come home. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-From New Mexico in the USA -to British Columbia in Canada. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
-The Rockies stretch 5,000km -across North America. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
-The first Europeans -came here 300 years ago. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-They discovered a striking landscape -teeming with wildlife. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-The Rockies are beautiful -all year round. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-But in the winter, it's magical. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-Fur and minerals -attracted the first travellers. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
-Before the 20th century, the people -here came to the conclusion... | 0:05:26 | 0:05:30 | |
-..that the mountains' beauty -was even more valuable. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
-Banff was the third National Park -in the history of the world. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
-People visit from all over - it's -world famous for its wild mountains. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:46 | |
-A habitat for wildlife - that's -the idea behind the National Park. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:51 | |
-A home for wildlife -but a place for people to visit too. | 0:05:51 | 0:06:00 | |
-The National Park expresses -our love towards the old country. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:17 | |
-It says, "I love my landscape -and I demand that it's protected." | 0:06:17 | 0:06:24 | |
-Wildlife and the opportunity to see -something bigger than ourselves... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:33 | |
-..that's the Park in essence. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-The challenge for Banff is to -welcome 4 million visitors a year... | 0:06:39 | 0:06:47 | |
-..without losing -the Park's natural spirit. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
-In the middle of this tourist -dilemma is the town of Banff. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
-It was originally a town for -Canadian Pacific Railway workers. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
-But, for skaters, skiers and -climbers, it's a winter paradise. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:11 | |
-There are all sorts of activities -to be enjoyed here. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
-But don't forget your snow shoes. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-The area -is famous for its creativity. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
-A sculpture festival -is one of many events... | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-..which attracts people to ponder -the beauty that surrounds them. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
-Some of Canada's most famous -artists and authors... | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-..have been inspired -by the rugged landscape. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
-The Rockies - the rocky mountains. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
-The name suggests that they're -tough, unyielding and solid. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
-But for people -of the First Nations... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
-..they think of them -in a totally different way. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
-The mountains have been there -for thousands of years. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-They understand things -that we don't. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:10 | |
-We come to the mountains -in search of knowledge... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-..to learn from every animal here. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-We aren't the smartest creatures. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
-We only play a small part. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
-We depend on the mountains -for wisdom and courage. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
-The native people believe -that these mountains are alive. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
-In the world around them, -nothing is really dead. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
-They regularly talk about spirit. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-The landforms, trees and plants -all have a soul. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
-When talking about my family... | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
-..I'm not only talking -about people... | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-..I'm talking about every spirit -that exists in the mountains. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:22 | |
-For First Nations people... | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
-..the mountains link the past -with the present... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:34 | |
-..and create a channel -that rises to their creator. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
-One of the elders -of the Blackfoot Confederacy... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-..is Treffrey Deerfoot. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
-Through dance, poetry and legends, -he calls on the mountain spirits... | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
-..to share their wisdom -with the modern world. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-I come to the mountain -with our young people... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-..or men who are stressed out... | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
-..and here, -they begin to listen to nature. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:09 | |
-The power of the experience -changes many. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-They come down the mountain -with a different outlook on life. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
-The mountains speak volumes. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-How important every creature is, -even the grass. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
-Living in the middle of nature -is vital to Treffrey's people. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-It's the source of their knowledge. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
-People would come to the mountain... | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
-..and the animals -would come towards them... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
-..and say, -"This is what must be done." | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-Then they'd go down -to tell the people... | 0:10:58 | 0:11:01 | |
-.."This is what the spirits -want us to do." | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
-The most important animal of all -to the First Nations was the bison. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
-Before the arrival -of the Europeans... | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
-..huge herds of them -roamed North America. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-It's hard to believe -and even harder to imagine... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
-..but, at one time, -up to 50 million of them lived here. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:41 | |
-But in the 19th century, -they were mercilessly hunted... | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
-..to make leather from their hides. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-Their bones were used as fertilizer -on the land. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
-Many factors -contributed to their demise. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-The prairies were cultivated, -cattle replaced the bison... | 0:11:59 | 0:12:06 | |
-..the bison were hunted -for their fur and leather... | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
-..and the leather was used to make -large belts to turn the machines... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:16 | |
-..in the factories -of the Industrial Revolution. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:23 | |
-But for conservationists' efforts, -the bison would have disappeared. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
-From those millions, less than 1,000 -remained 80 years later. Stupefying. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:38 | |
-Today, for the first time -in over a century... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-..the bison are on their way back -to the mountains. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
-A venture by Parks Canada -is responsible. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-The aim is to release 16 bison... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
-..in a remote valley -in the Banff National Park. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
-Restoring the wild bison - -that's the dream for the future. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:03 | |
-It's important for the ecology -of the Park and to us as humans... | 0:13:03 | 0:13:10 | |
-..as recompense for destroying the -bison. It's the right thing to do. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:19 | |
-It's more than restoring an animal -to the ecosystem. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:29 | |
-It also treats an old wound, -and heals it. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:36 | |
-That healing is about to happen, -in the most dramatic of ways. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |

-The ancient beauty of the Rockies -is extraordinary. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-But for people who love -the mountains' history and nature... | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
-..there's something missing. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
-There were millions of bison on -the plains and mountains in Banff... | 0:14:05 | 0:14:11 | |
-..just 150-200 years ago. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
-They'd all disappeared by 1880. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
-But the bisons' spirit -has endured... | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-..in the customs -of the area's native people. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
-The bison roamed the mountains... | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
-..and the elk and the deer -and other creatures. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-I present to you the Dance of the -Bison given to the people of earth. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:49 | |
-Wow! To see and film the -Dance of the Bison is rare indeed. | 0:14:55 | 0:15:01 | |
-It's something -only a few visitors get to do. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-It's not me doing the dance... | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
-..it's the spirit of the bison -that uses my body to tell its story. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
-The spirit of the mountains -give stories to the people of earth. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-Stories for us to use -in everyday life. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
-The bison used to graze here... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-..and sustained the lives -of my forefathers. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:52 | |
-For First Nations people, -the bison is more than an animal. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:01 | |
-It's an integral part -of their lives. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:04 | |
-"We are the bison -and the bison are us," they say. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:07 | |
-My father was raised by people -who used to hunt the bison. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:19 | |
-I'm one generation -from the hunting experience. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:27 | |
-There were still memories of -the bison - the spirit of the bison. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:34 | |
-That spirit -was like a brother to me. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
-Here, the land, the animals -and people all belong to one family. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:46 | |
-Losing part of the world around you -is like losing part of your soul. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
-If you took the mountain -away from me... | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
-..you'd take a little of my identity -as one of the Blackfoot. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-If you took the bison -away from me... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
-..you'd take a big part -of my identity. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:11 | |
-Without a doubt, the disappearance -of the bison from the mountains... | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-..was a big blow -to the First Nations. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
-But some tribes breed a few of them -and keep them as farmed cattle. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:27 | |
-It feels very special -to be this close to the bison. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:33 | |
-They were fundamentally important -to First Nations people... | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
-..in lots of ways. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:40 | |
-We depended on the bison. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
-The bison were our life. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:54 | |
-The bison were food for us, -and clothed us too. | 0:17:54 | 0:18:00 | |
-We made bells from their horns. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-The sound of the dance -originates from the horns. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
-The Big Spirit gave us the bison -to help sustain our way of life. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:38 | |
-Our lives depended on the bison. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:43 | |
-But the White Man came -and destroyed the bison... | 0:18:44 | 0:18:49 | |
-..almost completely. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:54 | |
-Without the bison, life was hard -for Henry's forefathers. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
-They had to maintain their -traditions as best they could... | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
-..on the reservations. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
-But, Parks Canada -are starting a project... | 0:19:08 | 0:19:12 | |
-..of great importance -to First Nations people. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
-The bison are on their way back -to the Rockies. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-They've come from another -national park in Alberta. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
-They're descendants -of the few wild animals... | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
-..that were rescued -at the turn of the 20th century. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
-Among them are six pregnant females. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-It's an ambitious project. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-The hope is -the animals will settle... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
-..and breed successfully -in their new home. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-The dream is -for the bison to return... | 0:19:54 | 0:19:57 | |
-..to graze and roam the land -once more... | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
-..after a gap of 140 years. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
-It's nightfall, and back -in my cosy hotel in Banff... | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-..I get the opportunity to reflect -upon what's about to happen here. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:18 | |
-Learning about the bison -from the First Nations people... | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
-..was very special. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
-I got a glimpse -of their culture and traditions. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:27 | |
-The last two centuries were -the darkest period in their history. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
-Their languages and way of life -almost disappeared. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
-But now, -the bison is on its way back. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
-As a result, it's a new dawn for -the people who suffered the most... | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
-..in the colonization -that came to their lands. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-The name of the scheme -is Bison Belong. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-It's a name -which declares unequivocally... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-..that the bison -belongs here historically. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
-But the last part of the journey... | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
-..calls for a very modern method -to take them to their new home. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
-This is the only way of ensuring -that the bison arrives safely... | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
-..and can settle in a place that's -far away enough from modern life. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-The First Nations have given -their blessing to the arrangements. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-For them, bringing this -iconic animal back to the area... | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
-..is more -than a matter of logistics. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-They consider the bison -a part of the family. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-This land is sacred -for many of the local tribes. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:04 | |
-So the elders of the tribes -have been asked to come together... | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
-..to prepare and sign -an agreement supporting the scheme. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
-The neighbours in the nearby tribes -hear about this... | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
-..through the Moccasin Telegraph, -as we say. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
-A way of talking to each other -that's better than the Web! | 0:22:28 | 0:22:35 | |
-In the Agreement, we talk about -the bison as a means... | 0:22:37 | 0:22:44 | |
-..to restore and strengthen -our culture once more. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:51 | |
-Old tensions disappear and -the scheme pulls people together... | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
-..in a way -that couldn't be imagined before. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
-More than 50 tribes -have signed the Agreement. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:15 | |
-So our heritage is on its way back. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:23 | |
-And who's inspiring all of this? | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
-It's the bison -that's bringing us all together! | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
-A huge boost for the culture -of the native people. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
-But expectations are high that the -natural climate will improve too. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:46 | |
-As they settle, the bison -will create fertile pasture. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:53 | |
-Plants, insects and birds -will follow in their wake... | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
-..and it's highly likely that wolves -and bears will come to hunt them. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
-The bison -can restore the entire ecosystem. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
-It's no wonder the project's causing -a stir in the conservation world. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
-This is a creature that belongs here -- it's its habitat. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:25 | |
-It's fundamentally important -for the First Nations... | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
-..for their culture, their -spiritual life and their identity. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:34 | |
-Forty kilometres -from the nearest track, they land. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
-Park officials have set aside -fenced pasture land. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:51 | |
-This will be their home -for the next 18 months. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
-After that, they will be free -to roam the Rockies once more. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:12 | |
-At last, the bison has come home. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:25 | |
-. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:29 | |

-A century and a half after -disappearing from the mountains... | 0:25:38 | 0:25:43 | |
-..the bison are back in the Rockies. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
-Since they last grazed here, man -has left his mark on the landscape. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:56 | |
-The Pan-American Highway... | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
-..prevents all sorts of animals -from roaming freely. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
-Creating safe corridors -for the bear, deer and wolf... | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
-..is the aim of another -special project underway here. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
-Y2Y - Yellowstone to Yukon. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
-An ambitious scheme... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
-..to recreate paths -without obstacles for wildlife... | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
-..so they can move around easily -once more. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
-From Yellowstone in the USA... | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
-..all the way to northern Canada. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
-The mountains -between Yellowstone and Yukon... | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
-..are one of the best wild habitats -in the world. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
-But, even here, the modern world... | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
-..interrupts the freedom of animals -to roam unobstructed. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
-This part of North America -is at the vanguard... | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
-..in ensuring safe paths -from one national park to the next. | 0:26:55 | 0:27:00 | |
-Famous parks - Yellowstone, Banff, -Waterton Glacier, Nahanni... | 0:27:02 | 0:27:10 | |
-..the idea is -to connect the Parks as a network. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
-The idea has caught on -in Parks across the world. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:21 | |
-The biggest problem is obvious. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
-Every day, up to 30,000 vehicles -travel on this road. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:36 | |
-No-one wants to meet a 300kg moose -coming the other way. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:43 | |
-The purpose of this overpass... | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
-..is to create a safe corridor -for the animals. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
-We're not allowed to go any closer. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
-But there's one man... | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
-..who can show us how -it helps bears to cross the road. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
-Derek Petersen monitors -the bridges and underpasses... | 0:28:09 | 0:28:14 | |
-..built for these animals. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
-We might see something. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
-Let's see -if we can see anything inside. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
-His work has shed new light... | 0:28:21 | 0:28:23 | |
-..on how animals -respond to these structures. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
-With fierce creatures -like bears and wolves around... | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
-..some smaller animals are reluctant -to use the underpasses. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:38 | |
-Some favour an overpass. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:40 | |
-It's 60 metres wide on the top so -it's like you're moving through... | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
-..a block of habitat from one side -of the highway to the other. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
-It's a very different experience -to moving through an underpass. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
-Cautious animals like deer -favour the bridges... | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
-..while the black bear... | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
-..is happy to walk through -an enclosed path like this. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:04 | |
-There's plenty of evidence -to prove so. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
-You can see the difference in size. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:11 | |
-That's incredible. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:14 | |
-Bear footprints. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:17 | |
-Great to see, but I wouldn't -want to meet one here. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
-In the early days of the monitoring, -footprints were the only proof... | 0:29:29 | 0:29:33 | |
-..that animals exploited the scheme. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
-The proof was more visible in winter -with snow on the ground. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
-Now, more sophisticated methods -reveal all throughout the year. | 0:29:42 | 0:29:47 | |
-The latest camera technology has -substantially added to the research. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:56 | |
-So far, eleven animal species -have been filmed. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 | |
-It's possible to see entire families -moving around... | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
-..and to calculate how often -they use the crossing points. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |
-One grizzly bear crossed the same -stretch 66 times in one summer. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:18 | |
-It's a huge amount of crossings -for one structure for a single bear. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
-It shows how much -they are being used. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
-The camera records the exact moment -an animal or person passes. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:34 | |
-That can sometimes cause a fright. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
-Derek has seen a grizzly bear -and a cougar on the camera... | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
-..with hikers moments behind them... | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
-..totally unaware of -their proximity to a fierce animal. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:51 | |
-The scheme is a success. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:55 | |
-Within the National Park... | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
-..collisions between vehicles -and animals have fallen 80%. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:04 | |
-They've also observed... | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
-..more than 160,000 animals -crossing under or over the highway. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:13 | |
-But, of course, the Rockies -attract other creatures... | 0:31:18 | 0:31:22 | |
-..as well as the wild animals - -people. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
-Woah! This is steep! | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
-Even for a novice like me... | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
-..a turn on the slopes is an escape -from the pressures of everyday life. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
-It's easy to understand why. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
-With snow everywhere, -and hardly no-one about... | 0:31:49 | 0:31:52 | |
-..the tranquillity is a tonic. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
-But I can't stay on the piste. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
-Bye! | 0:31:57 | 0:31:58 | |
-I'm keen to see another scheme going -on at the bottom of the slopes. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:08 | |
-People come to a place like this... | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
-..to ski and to have a good time -in the mountains. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
-But it's easy -to take things for granted. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
-One enterprise, right here... | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
-..is making sure -everyone can enjoy the mountains. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
-Overcoming disability... | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
-..is the purpose of -the Rocky Mountain Adaptive charity. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:35 | |
-Ready? One, two, lift. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
-Today, they're working -with a former sports teacher... | 0:32:37 | 0:32:41 | |
-..who was certain -that she could never again... | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
-..enjoy being on the mountains. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
-After a road accident... | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
-..Andrea Wojcik thought -that her world had come to an end. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
-After a game of ice hockey -with her friends... | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
-..Andrea jumped on her motorbike -to drive home. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
-She doesn't remember -any of the journey after that... | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
-..or the moment -when the bike hit a pothole. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
-I was going about 80 kilometres -an hour and hit a fence. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:15 | |
-The fence acted like a bungee cord -and the bike flipped over it... | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
-..and I went flying off, -then I woke up eight hours later. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:25 | |
-The first year was... | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
-..I'm sure anybody -who has had a spinal cord injury... | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
-..will tell you the first year -is a mess. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
-It's like being in a dark pit -and you can't see the light... | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
-..because somebody -has put a blanket over you. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
-But after the first year, -you figure, "I can do this. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:47 | |
-"How's it going to go?" | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
-With support, effort -and determination... | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
-..a number of people like Andrea -are learning to ski again. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
-It's an emotional experience -for the instructors too. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:01 | |
-The first time we skied -all the way down... | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
-..both of us were in tears. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
-A feat for anyone - but for her -especially, with her difficulties! | 0:34:09 | 0:34:16 | |
-The first time -they put me in a bucket... | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
-..and they let me -slide down the hill... | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
-..I was like, "Oh, my God, -this is out of control!" | 0:34:27 | 0:34:30 | |
-The adrenaline just surged. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:32 | |
-Their eyes dazzling. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:42 | |
-Their smiling faces - priceless! | 0:34:42 | 0:34:46 | |
-The wind on their skin - success! | 0:34:46 | 0:34:51 | |
-Andrea is a success. | 0:34:51 | 0:34:53 | |
-She keeps herself upright -and experiences freedom. | 0:34:55 | 0:35:00 | |
-I feel the same. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
-Free to fly like a bird. -What an experience! | 0:35:03 | 0:35:08 | |
-Society puts -so many limitations on me. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
-Watch this, sucker! | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
-I may not be the fastest skier... | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
-..but you try it, -because I'm ready to rip it! | 0:35:18 | 0:35:22 | |
-I may not quite be -experienced enough... | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |
-..to go for it like Andrea. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
-But even for me, there's a thrill -and a freedom here... | 0:35:35 | 0:35:40 | |
-..and it's such a lovely feeling to -ski in such a beautiful landscape. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:45 | |
-You can't get the connection -with nature... | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
-..sitting in your wheelchair -on an asphalt pathway. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
-It's the majesty -of seeing the high rock forms... | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
-..that have been there -for thousands of years... | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
-..and knowing -you're one tiny piece of the world. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
-Andrea loves being daring once more. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:11 | |
-Get that on camera! | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |

-Banff National Park in Canada -is one of the most popular places... | 0:36:24 | 0:36:28 | |
-..to enjoy -the splendid scenery of the Rockies. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
-More than three million visitors... | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
-..come to the national park -every year... | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
-..to walk, to see the mountains -and its wildlife. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
-But in the winter, it's adventure -activities which attracts most. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:50 | |
-What's more adventurous -than climbing on the ice?! | 0:36:50 | 0:36:53 | |
-A huge challenge for me. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
-Thankfully, two of the best -ice climbers in the world... | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
-..are here to help. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:08 | |
-Hi, Sarah. Hi, Will. Good morning. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
-Hi, Sarah. Hi, Will. Good morning. - -Good morning! | 0:37:11 | 0:37:13 | |
-Where are we going, then? | 0:37:14 | 0:37:14 | |
-Where are we going, then? - -Johnston Canyon. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:16 | |
-Fantastic. Shall we make our way? | 0:37:16 | 0:37:17 | |
-Fantastic. Shall we make our way? - -Yes, let's do it. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
-Two years ago, -Will Gadd and Sarah Hueniken... | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
-..were the first to ascend -the side of the Niagara Falls. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
-The waterfall in Johnston Canyon -isn't half as high... | 0:37:28 | 0:37:32 | |
-..but we must remember -that there are other dangers here. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:37 | |
-It's so nice walking in the woods, -but it can be slippery... | 0:37:37 | 0:37:43 | |
-..and wild animals -are sometimes about. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:46 | |
-But I have this just in case. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:48 | |
-Bear spray, -which is meant to keep them away. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
-It's just one item -in the essentials kit. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
-But it's the dangers of the climb -that's at the front of my mind. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:01 | |
-This won't be the toughest climb -Sarah has faced... | 0:38:01 | 0:38:05 | |
-..but ice always poses a challenge. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:08 | |
-It's 15 degrees below freezing... | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
-..and Sarah is going to climb -a 60-metre waterfall... | 0:38:12 | 0:38:16 | |
-..that's frozen solid. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:18 | |
-She's experiencing -the thrill of climbing. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
-But it's fear that I feel... | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
-..as I see -what I'll have to face soon. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
-When I first tried rock climbing, -something stuck in me. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:39 | |
-It was scary and terrifying, -like it is for most people. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
-You have to go into the mountains -with a ton of respect... | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
-..because they don't care -what you're doing. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
-They're not going -to look after you... | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
-..and you have to trust -your own abilities as a climber. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
-It looks high. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:08 | |
-The biggest gift climbing gives -to me is to be in the present. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:17 | |
-If you're not in the present moment -when you're climbing... | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
-..you shouldn't be doing it, -because there are consequences. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:26 | |
-Ice! | 0:39:26 | 0:39:27 | |
-You really have to believe -in your own experience and yourself. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:36 | |
-That's extremely powerful -and extremely rewarding. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:40 | |
-Sarah has reached -the top of the waterfall. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:44 | |
-Amazing! | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
-Thanks. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:49 | |
-The time has come. It's my turn. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
-There's no turning back now. | 0:39:57 | 0:39:59 | |
-I just have to make the best -of this opportunity. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
-These must be very tight. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
-I haven't worn shoes -like these before. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
-I like -to keep my feet on the ground. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
-I've never been tempted to climb... | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
-..even though I grew up -in North Wales. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
-But Sarah sets me a target. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
-Climbing and touching an anchor -above a wall of ice... | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
-..which looks far too high to me. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
-I'm going to go for it. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:33 | |
-There you go. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:36 | |
-There you go. - -Like that? | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
-Yes, just like that. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:39 | |
-That's good. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
-The ice is so hard in places, -gripping is difficult. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
-A bit more and soon you'll be able -to almost be standing on flat feet. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:53 | |
-In other places, -it's fragile and breaks off. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
-The ice is broken. | 0:40:58 | 0:40:59 | |
-The ice is broken. - -That's OK. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:00 | |
-Something like ice climbing -is a ton of trust in yourself... | 0:41:01 | 0:41:05 | |
-..knowing that you believe -in your own decision-making... | 0:41:05 | 0:41:10 | |
-..because it has consequences -if you've made the wrong choice. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:14 | |
-You have to think before every move. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:18 | |
-Up here, every false step is costly. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:23 | |
-Reach nice and high again. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
-It's hard to think about the arms -and legs at the same time. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:30 | |
-I don't want to fall. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:32 | |
-Yes! | 0:41:37 | 0:41:38 | |
-One last effort -and it'll all be over, hopefully. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
-At last, the anchor is within reach. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
-Touch the anchor. -Touch the anchor with your tool. | 0:41:56 | 0:42:00 | |
-Yes! You did it. That's it. | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
-How do I come down? | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
-The way down. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:10 | |
-It feels good! | 0:42:11 | 0:42:12 | |
-That was incredible. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
-Sarah, come here. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:21 | |
-Thank you. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:23 | |
-Thank you. - -That was awesome. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:25 | |
-I can't believe I've done it. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:27 | |
-I can't believe I've done it. - -Look up at what you just did. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
-It doesn't look so high from here, -but when I was up there... | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
-..I felt I was on Ben Nevis -or the summit of Snowdon. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:36 | |
-I really feel -I've achieved something there. | 0:42:37 | 0:42:40 | |
-My journey in the mountains -is coming to an end. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
-Magnificent landscape, ancient -legends, the bison, skiing... | 0:42:54 | 0:42:59 | |
-..and the climbing. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
-It's so difficult -to weigh it all up. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
-It's been a privilege -coming to the Rockies... | 0:43:05 | 0:43:08 | |
-..to meet the people -who live here... | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
-..and to learn -how they work with nature... | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
-..to protect wildlife -for the next generation. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:19 | |
-By building bridges and tunnels for -animals to cross the main roads... | 0:43:24 | 0:43:28 | |
-..Banff Park is leading the way -in terms of conservation... | 0:43:28 | 0:43:33 | |
-..and it also benefits -the locals too. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
-When I'm in the mountain now, -it feels good. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
-I feel connected to the landscape. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:42 | |
-I can see the product of my work. | 0:43:42 | 0:43:44 | |
-I know I'm protecting -this landscape for myself... | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
-..for my children -and for future generations. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
-Having done -a bit of skiing and climbing... | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
-..I can sense the importance of the -experience for all who live here. | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
-The mountains are the reason -for me to stay here... | 0:44:01 | 0:44:04 | |
-..for the freedom, wind and the -scenery that's different every day. | 0:44:05 | 0:44:11 | |
-The sun, the clouds and the trees... | 0:44:12 | 0:44:15 | |
-..everything here gives me a boost. | 0:44:16 | 0:44:20 | |
-But, for me, -the most striking thing... | 0:44:21 | 0:44:24 | |
-..after the excitement and movement -have ended... | 0:44:24 | 0:44:28 | |
-..is coming to a stop and gazing at -the magnificence of the landscape. | 0:44:28 | 0:44:32 | |
-Seeing the mountains every day -raises my spirits. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:44 | |

-The mountains support us. | 0:44:52 | 0:44:56 | |
-We respect them hugely. | 0:44:56 | 0:45:01 | |
-To respect the Rockies, -as the native people do here... | 0:45:07 | 0:45:12 | |
-..the soul of the place -has to be found. | 0:45:13 | 0:45:16 | |
-They're more than rocks. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:20 | |
-Everyone feels a spirituality -in the mountains. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:26 | |
-A very special experience - being -fully awake, alive to the world... | 0:45:26 | 0:45:32 | |
-..that's what -the mountains are to me. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:35 | |
-Spending time with those with -their roots deep in the mountains... | 0:45:39 | 0:45:44 | |
-..I've started to appreciate -what they mean... | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
-..by the unity of everything. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:51 | |
-The mountains -are part of the family... | 0:45:51 | 0:45:53 | |
-..as one person -is related to another... | 0:45:54 | 0:45:58 | |
-..as the birds are related -to each other, and the bison too. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:04 | |
-We are all related to each other - -that's how we know ourselves. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:11 | |
-I'm going home having been inspired -by an important and clear message. | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
