 3-ears-indigenous-festival-sept-27-oct-1/\n\n-\n\nWILFRED BUCK - directed 
 by Lisa Jackson (2024\, 96 mins)\n\nHe’s from the “fresh-out-of-the-bu
 sh\, partly civilized\, colonized\, displaced people\,” and he’s here 
 to take us to the stars. Lisa Jackson’s portrait of Cree Elder Wilfred B
 uck moves between earth and sky\, past and present\, bringing to life anci
 ent teachings of Indigenous astronomy and cosmology to tell a story that s
 pans generations. This hybrid feature documentary follows the extraordinar
 y life of Wilfred Buck\, a charismatic and irreverent Cree Elder who overc
 ame a harrowing yet familiar history of displacement\, racism and addictio
 n by reclaiming ancestral star knowledge and ceremony.\n\nBuck is humble\,
  profound\, funny\, always real and a master storyteller. As a young man\,
  his community in Northern Manitoba is forcibly relocated to make way for 
 a hydroelectric dam\, Buck’s family loses everything. He descends into t
 he darkness of the city streets\, surviving any way he can\, until he reco
 nnects with Elders who start him on a path that transforms his world.  Dr
 iven by insatiable curiosity and instructed by dreams\, Buck becomes a sci
 ence educator and internationally respected star lore expert. His mission 
 is sharing these life-changing teachings—as relevant and urgent today as
  ever—always guided by ceremony and anchored in the land.\n\nAdapted fro
 m Buck’s rollicking memoir I Have Lived Four Lives\, director Lisa Jack
 son deftly interweaves verité footage of Buck’s present with archival f
 ootage and cinematic\, dramatized scenes from his past\, painting a portra
 it of a beloved leader who now stands at the forefront of the resurgence o
 f Indigenous ways of knowing.\n\n[embed]https://vimeo.com/942488273[/embed
