COMMUNITY SCREENINGS

Spencer O’Brien is like many Indigenous youth in Canada, growing up disconnected from their bakÌ“wa̱m (Indigenous) identity. This is a direct result of the genocidal colonial policies the federal government of Canada enforced upon the First Peoples of this land. Spencer’s story of reconnection to her Haida & Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw roots is an example of the strength, beauty and resilience of the spirit of bakÌ“wa̱m people which offers hope for the next generation of Indigenous youth to achieve their dreams and heal from the impacts of colonization. We hope this film resonates far and wide, helping to share this important message.

TRUTH & RECONCILIATION

Indigenous peoples in Canada were systemically separated from their identities, families, culture, languages and the land through genocidal laws. The current plight of Indigenous peoples we see today is a direct result of 500+ years of attempted and ongoing colonial genocide enforced upon us by the federal government.  

​

We are now in a time of awakening and reconnecting to the power that was within all Indigenous people there prior to contact, to the power that has always been.

​

In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) published its final report detailing the experiences and impacts of the residential school system, creating a historical record of its legacy and consequences.

​

Precious Leader Woman responds to these calls to action by helping educate audiences on Indigenous issues, supporting indigenous creators and voices,  highlighting indigenous sports and can be used for cultural safety training purposes.
