ᓂᒧᓲᒼ NIMOSÔM ["my grandfather" Cree]. Using pillars of short story telling, making every image and word dense with meaning, this 18 minute short was shot on the Native American Kehewin Cree Nation Reserve in Alberta Canada [Kehewin = Place of the Eagle (Cree)]; two 14 year old boys, Layne Youngchief & Dylan John, friends since birth, talk of Nimosôm, (my grandfather), why they love him, how important he is in their lives - teaching language, traditional beliefs, "thinks I need to know to help me in life". An Indigenous life skill is providing for a family by learning how to harvest a moose, a right protected within the Canadian Constitution. Their Grandfather, Gabriel John (Indigenous Name: White Buffalo) also speaks of how he ended up forced into Government mandated Indian Residential School, taken away without his families knowledge by a Priest, and placed in the first car he ever saw. From that violence, rather than bitterness, he gifted his community preservation of traditional knowledge and ceremonies. Their Mosôm tells of why youth must be taught of culture, of language, of how to be men, even if imperfect men, to be noble persons and contributing members of their community. A gem in this film is that 10 years after the initial filming, we went back and, with their Mosôm gone we see the boys, now men, tell of what lasing impact they still carry from White Buffalo. English and Cree with subtitles. Running time 18 minutes.
