Indigenous History Month
Explore inspiring stories of resilience, resistance, creativity and cultural revitalization.
In honour of Indigenous History Month, Knowledge Network is streaming incredible stories of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Quick take: Knowledge Network’s collection of local films showcases an array of Indigenous perspectives. Watch Yintah, which documents the Wet’suwet’en opposition to a pipeline; learn about the influence of Indigenous masks on surrealist artists in So Surreal; or see the beautiful lanterns in Iniskim: Return of the Buffalo, a film that captures a celebration of buffalo, which were reintroduced to Banff National Park less than a decade ago.
More to explore: In From the Land, a new documentary being released on June 23, three Indigenous women in British Columbia share the cultural arts and knowledge they are working to keep alive in their communities, passing on the skills of knitting, weaving, and midwifery to the next generation.
