Dans le cadre du projet A Gem of an Idea avec CBC Montreal.

To mark National Indigenous History Month in Canada, Benny Library and CBC/Radio-Canada host a screening of the bilingual series Telling our Story/Laissez-nous raconter. All ages.

Telling Our Story/Laissez-nous raconter, a visually stunning four-part documentary series highlighting 11 different First Nations in Quebec, illuminates the rich Indigenous cultures and stories that exist within the province. Director Kim O’Bomsawin travelled tens of thousands of kilometres, visiting more than 30 communities to gather the perspectives of Abenaki, Anishinaabe, Atikamekw, Cree of Eeyou Istchee, Innu, Inuit, Mi’kmaq, Kanien’kehá:ka, Naskapi, Huron-Wendat, and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people. Supported by narration from Kaniyen’kehá:ka (Mohawk) actor Kaniehtiio Horn and stunning landscape cinematography, each episode groups these views around a single theme: “Territory,” “Identity,” “Spirituality,” and “Rebuilding.”
