DARC will be presenting looping screenings of the films “My Indian Name” and “SGaawaay K’uuna (Edge of The Knife)” in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
My Indian Name:
My “Indian” Name is a one-hour documentary that takes a look at how having their traditional names stripped away from them has impacted Indigenous peoples. Without their original names, people are often left trying to find how they fit in this world. Luckily today, steps are being taken to reclaim their basic right to their true names.
SGaawaay K’uuna (Edge of The Knife):
Set in the 19th century, the film tells the story of Adiits’ii who, following a tragedy, transforms into Gaagiixid – “the Wildman.” SGaawaay K’uuna is the first feature film made in the endangered Haida language.
Come by to watch these films by Indigenous artists in the DARC Microcinema from September 30th to November 4th. No registration is required for the day-long looping screenings.
