Tomson Highway was born in a tent in the middle of a snowbank, on his father's trapline in northern Manitoba. He was one of 12 children, and his first language was Cree. Former CBC broadcaster Hal Wake takes a rare opportunity to talk with Tomson Highway about his journey from that Manitoba trapline to earning an honorary doctorate from Brandon University and the Order of Canada. Don't miss out on this great story, told by a hugely entertaining and accomplished artist.
