For the first time, the 11 First Peoples in Quebec: Canada—Abenaki, Anishnabe, Atikamekw, Cree of Eeyou Istchee, Innu, Inuit, Mi'kmaq, Kanyen'kehà:ka (Mohawk), Naskapi, Wendat, and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) are telling us who they are, in their own way, and from their point of view. We see and hear their worldviews, their connection to the Territory, their spirituality, their values, their history going back thousands of years, their wounds, their struggles, their victories, and their hopes. Their stories give depth to our great collective narrative, decolonize history and minds, and honor the Ancestors and Mother Earth. TELLING OUR STORY is a celebration of resistance, resilience, and revival.

From director Kim O'Bomsawin, winner of the DGC Grand Jury Prize for Best Canadian Documentary at CIFF2020.
