An Edmonton man purchased a massive collection of Indigenous films and audio tapes for just $1. His plan is to turn it into an priceless digital archive.

Actor Tom Jackson's statements come one day after the film’s location manager said Parks Canada denied the permit in Banff and Jasper national parks, citing aboriginal concerns and suggesting the project might need an environmental assessment.

National Aboriginal Day was celebrated in Edmonton's Churchill Square Saturday, but it also served as a reminder of the struggles faced by many of Canada's Indigenous people.
