Braving the fast-moving rivers, the group paddles off the lake in search of natural salmon runs in the waterways. Their efforts to corral the fish are more dangerous than they realized.
Merchants of the Wild, Season 3, follows six Indigenous adventurers as they journey along ancient paths that were traditionally used by Indigenous traders deep in the mountains of Syilx territory in BC. They spend 25 days in the wilderness learning to reconnect with their culture, with only a handful of necessary tools and a limited food supply. During the expedition they must rely solely on the land, each other, and traditional teachings to survive.
