This month we're exploring the fascinating and strange world of Duqesne Island, as shown by the newly released 1970s CBC documentary The Neddeaus of Duqesne Island. This never-before-seen footage depicts an absolutely definitely real family living on an isolated island in northern Ontario, immersed in a culture all their own. The Neddeaus provide more than enough fodder for a food-and-fashion deep-dive. We're eating all things potatoes (really, so many potatoes); wondering how on Earth this family got ahold of such modern raincoats; and meditating on what a symbol the Neddeaus really are for Canada, identity, and the human condition. Thanks for listening! Fashionably Ate is on Instagram and Facebook @fashionablyateshow, and we've got photos from this and every episode on Pinterest @fashionablyate.
