Although considered a lost film for many years, film historian Peter Geller found the original raw footage of The Romance of the Far Fur Country in the British Film Institute archives in 1996.[2] It was then transferred to the Hudson's Bay Company archives, where Geller and Nikkel worked to reconstruct the film, before undertaking a screening tour in 2012 under the title Return of the Far Fur Country, both in major Canadian cities and in the smaller First Nations and Inuit communities where the original film had been shot.[3]
The film won the Colin Low Award at the 2015 DOXA Documentary Film Festival.[4]
