Elder's Gathering Short Film Program
Three films connected to the waters of the Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg territory. From teachings of Sacred Water to the Food that Grows on the Water (Manoomin), these films explore the past, present and future of these waters.
(73 minutes + panel discussion)
A pre-recorded panel discussion moderated by Jenn Cole featuring Anne Taylor and Drew Hayden Taylor from Curve Lake and curator Cara Mumford.
Dancing the past and future waterways of salmon migration in Michi Saagiig territory.
Inspired by the song “she sang them home” by Michi Saagiig scholar and storyteller Dr. Leanne Simpson—about the first salmon returning to the territory one hundred years from now—this film follows dancer and scholar Jenn Cole and myself as we renew our relationships with the waterways of the song.
