The films chosen focus on how Indigenous communities are coming together to h eal and move forward.\n \;\n\nWaaPake (Tomorrow) - directed by Jules A rita Koostachin (2023\, 80 min) - SCREENING AT 10:30 am\n\nIn Swampy Cree\ , the word WaaPaKe means tomorrow—and as Attawapiskat filmmaker Jules Ko ostachin says in her deeply personal documentary\, “Tomorrow means hope. It means that we have a future.”\n\nA powerful film about intergenerati onal trauma and healing\, examined through an Indigenous lens\, WaaPaKe r eveals the reality of living in the shadow of residential school experienc es and explores ways in which we can change the narrative to one that offe rs hope and a view to the future. The film creates a space for reflection and discussion so that the descendants of residential school survivors may respond to this shared burden of history and confront the cyclical nature of intergenerational trauma in their own lives and beyond.\n\n“…a ten der portrait of how we shift from a trauma-centric conversation to one of actionable healing and acceptance within family – with community\, land\ , love and culture. WaaPaKe is a testimony of courage\, care and respect. ”\n—ImagineNATIVE 2023\n\nWatch the trailer: https://vimeo.com/8639676 79\n\nand\n\nOur People Will Be Healed – directed by Alanis Obomsawin   (2017 \, 96 min) - SCREENING AT 1:00 pm\n\nAlanis Obomsawin’s 50th f ilm reveals how a Cree community in Manitoba has been enriched through the power of education. The Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Cen tre in Norway House\, north of Winnipeg\, receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy. Its teachers help their students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride. In addition to teach ing academic subjects\, the school reconnects students with their ancestra l culture.\n\nThe fifth film in a cycle that began with The People of the Kattawapiskak River\, Our People Will Be Healed adopts an optimistic to ne without denying a dark past. It bears witness to the tragedies that hav e befallen the Plains Cree\, such as being confined to reserves\, forbidde n to practise any cultural ceremonies\, including the Sun Dance\, and sent off to residential schools. But first and foremost\, the film conveys a m essage of hope: that in an appropriate school environment\, one that incor porates their people’s history\, language and culture\, Indigenous youth can realize their dreams.\n\nWatch the trailer: https://vimeo.com/2315771 35\n\n \;\n\nBoth screenings are free and everyone is welcome. Admissi on to the MOV Galleries is by donation with proceeds going to the Indian R esidential Schools Survivors Society.\n\nMore info at https://museumofvanc ouver.ca/truth-and-reconciliation-day-nfb-film-screenings or contact 604-7 36-4431 or guestservices@museumofvancouver.ca\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://events.nfb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/04 /Waapake_EPKweb1440x810ENG_v03-e1727878105708.jpg CATEGORIES:Free Event,Screenings LOCATION:Museum of Vancouver\, 1100 Chestnut Street\, Vancouver\, British C olumbia\, V6J 3J9\, British Columbia\, Canada GEO:49.27638349999999;-123.1445046 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1100 Chestnut Street\, Vanc ouver\, British Columbia\, V6J 3J9\, British Columbia\, Canada;X-APPLE-RAD IUS=100;X-TITLE=Museum of Vancouver:geo:49.27638349999999,-123.1445046 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
