This week on The House, the week in national politics, the link between

enigmatic artist, and why he has such enduring appeal. Also...from their
early days busking on the streets of Toronto, Moxy Fruvous has gone on to

"Qatuwas: People Gathering Together," a powerful documentary about a
historic canoe journey, is told from the native perspective. The
documentary, by Namgis First Nation director Barb Cranmer, is an emotional
voyage of healing. It sheds light on important issues such as health,
environment and reclaiming culture. The strong message of the documentary
is one of hope, and portrayal of a positive image of First Nations. The
extraordinary contrast presented by the two documentaries raises painful
questions about the lines drawn by race and culture. Shown together they
present a compelling and provocative argument for understanding. Despite
the differing points of view, both films are a celebration of culture for
native and non-native alike. Don't miss "Qatuwas," this week on Rough Cuts,
Saturday at 9:00 p.m. on CBC Newsworld.

irony... So completely involved was the ship in what we call the web of
Fate, that it seemed as if the order of events had been definitely
contrived against a human arrangement... The spectacle of the world's
greatest ship slowly sinking to her doom in perfectly calm water...sinking
to the accompaniment of joyous music, was not only tragic but grotesque."

States, knowing that the separation from her country and father would be

struggles with conflicting feelings toward both her new country and her
native homeland, and Ricardo, who must deal with the fact that his
revolutionary dreams have yet to come true. That's "Ricardo, Miriam Y
Fidel," Sunday evening at 8:00 p.m. (EASTERN) on CBC Newsworld.
