Join us for our Indigenous Movie Cafe, we will be sharing the link for Smoke Signals and we are hosting a post-film discussion. Register by emailing kevin.vose-landivar@humber.ca

For this month's Indigenous Movie Cafe, we wanted to feature a film that is uplifting and fun to watch to help brighten your day during both these wintery days and with the impacts of the lockdown. We are sharing the link for Smoke Signals which will be followed by a film discussion on Monday, February 22 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

As for the new film, Smoke Signals, the synopsis is as follows:

Arnold rescued Thomas from a fire when he was a child. Thomas thinks of Arnold as a hero, while Arnold's son Victor resents his father's alcoholism, violence and abandonment of his family. Uneasy rivals and friends, Thomas and Victor spend their days killing time on a Coeur d'Alene reservation in Idaho and arguing about their cultural identities. When Arnold dies, the duo set out on a cross-country journey to Phoenix to retrieve Arnold's ashes.

Beginning with a viewing of the 2020 Humber Indigenous Transmedia Fellowship project, Native Enough, this seminar will bring together a panel of the 2020 participants to discuss the concepts explored in Native Enough and their experiences creating the project.  

Native Enough is an art-house short film that describes the negative effects experienced as a result of stereotypes and misrepresentations that shape Indigenous identities in Canada today.

Native Enough was created to showcase the shared experienced common to many Indigenous youth who feel that their worth is graded on their blood quantum outlined in the Indian Act or by how accessible their culture has been for them. The experience was shared by all of the Fellows and it has challenged and shaped their Indigenous identity, many of whom have felt they were not native enough to fit into the external social constructs placed upon them. Native Enough is a celebration of acceptance and community created through shared experience.  

As Indigenous people continue to be reclaim their identities today, they also have challenge stereotypes many Canadians still hold. We are expected to act a certain way but to truly control our own narrative, we have to be the voice that tells the story.
