THE BALLAD OF CROWFOOT
Often referred to as Canada’s first music video, this film directed by Willie Dunn, a Mi’kmaq/Scottish folk singer, is a powerful look at colonial betrayals, told through a striking montage of archival images and a ballad about the legendary 19th-century Siksika (Blackfoot) chief who negotiated Treaty 7 on behalf of the Blackfoot Confederacy.

LIKE THE TREES
This film is told in the first person by Rose, a Métis woman from northern Alberta who has left a difficult life in the city to rediscover her roots by returning to her Woodland Cree community. POW WOW AT
