Finding Mary March is a 1988 Canadian film, written and directed by Ken Pittman. A historical drama, the film discusses the search for the last remains of Demasduit (Mary March), one of the last of the Beothuk people, set in the Beothuk Lake (then known as "Red Indian Lake") area of Central Newfoundland. A young girl, Bernadette Buchans, believes that she is related to Mary March. Throughout the film, Bernadette and her father Ted are searching for the grave of her mother. An archaeologist/photographer, Nancy George, accompanies them; she also believes that she has family connections to the Beothuk.
