Likely suspects abound &#8211; the English, the Hudson&#8217;s Bay Company and a band of Kanien&#8217;keh\u00e1:ka (Iroquois) possibly in league with the English looking to drive the French from the territory &#8211; but who or what brought these settlers to such a tragic end? National Geographic&#8217;s new eight-part limited series, BARKSKINS, created by Elwood Reid and based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Annie Proulx, transports viewers to the wild frontier of the late 17th century. BARKSKINS premieres this Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, at 9\/8c with back-to-back episodes over four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>BARKSKINS is set in Wobik, a small settlement in what is now the Canadian province of Quebec. As the Catholic Church sends Jesuit priests to convert the indigenous people, France sends indentured servants to populate its territory, along with &#8220;Filles Du Roi&#8221; (&#8220;Daughters of the King&#8221;), young women to be matched with husbands, start families and help the colonies prosper. This disparate group of outcasts, rogues and innocents must navigate brutal hardships, competing interests and tangled loyalties at the crossroads of civilization: 1690s New France.<\/p><div id=\"morty-4151022924\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;BARKSKINS is a primeval story of survival and the quest to build a civilization out of the endless forest,&#8221; said Reid, creator and executive producer. &#8220;The settlers who&#8217;ve come to seek their fortune in the vast and unforgiving &#8216;New World&#8217; &#8211; the landless poor, street urchins, religious seekers, rapacious traders and the penniless young women hoping to marry into land and wealth &#8211; are met with the brutal reality of their dreams as they attempt to carve their place in it. They find themselves in the forest of the world, a dark and uncaring place, long settled by indigenous nations who view their arrival with disdain, and a recognition that an alliance with these disparate newcomers is increasingly necessary for survival.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The series tells a thrilling story of exploration, adventure and ambition among dreamers and fighters &#8211; some with a utopian vision of the world, others crass and conniving, but all navigating the perils of a treacherous new frontier. As tensions escalate, unlikely alliances are forged, old antagonisms deepen and new families are formed against the seemingly endless natural riches and hidden dangers of the new American continent. BARKSKINS&#8217; depiction of the collision between civilization and commerce is timeless, as is its spirit of adventure, natural wonder and survival of the fittest.<\/p>\n<p>Premiering globally in 172 countries and 43 languages, the eight-episode historical fiction limited series hails from Fox 21 Television Studios and Scott Rudin Productions, and is based on the bestselling novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Proulx.
