Yes, although a mix of incentives and force has moved nearly all of the people into towns and cities at this point, and in fairly recent memory. I remember when Atanarjuat came out twenty years ago the talk was that the timing was good—there still were many people who personally remembered living in the traditional way, well enough to recreate it vividly and accurately on camera, but they had to be brought out from the towns to do so.

Yes - was speaking to a co-worker about this in August - this happened only a generation ago (he knows people who remember this happening as children - his age), and the hurts, harm and overall levels mistrust that it caused as still rippling through communities and families.
