Spirit Doctors
Lyrical and honest, filmmaker Marie Burke journeys inward into the spiritual world of traditional Native medicine, the world of Mary and Ed Louie. With a lifetime of experience in the ways of Native spirituality, Mary and Ed are steadfastly committed to the practices that keep them accountable to the spirit world, their people and Mother Earth.

From the lush Smilkameen Valley of the interior to the cityscapes of Vancouver, British Columbia, Burke reveals a beautiful way of life rarely seen and explores the ongoing debate around the ethics of documenting such sacred ceremonial knowledge.

Niigaanibatowaad: FrontRunners
At a special ceremony during the opening of the 1999 Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, seven First Nations men in their fifties entered the stadium in war canoes. One of them held the Games torch. In 1967 when Winnipeg first hosted the Pan American Games, ten outstanding athletic teenage boys were chosen to run 800 kilometers over an ancient message route with the Games torch. When the runners arrived at the stadium, they were not allowed to enter with the torch. Instead, a non-Aboriginal runner was given the honour. Thirty-twoyears later, the province of Manitoba issued an official apology.

Nine of the ten young men chosen for the 1967 Pan Am Games torch run were from residential schools.

Niigaanibatowaad is about the segregation of the Aboriginal athletes and the despair and abuse suffered in the school system. Niigaanibatowaad: FrontRunners is a story of survival, hope, reconciliation and a dream for a new beginning that transcends hatred and racism.

About the Book
When sharp-edged Frances Moon and her long-time partner encounter a funeral procession that brings traffic to a halt, she finds herself blurting out the barest thread of a story that she never intended to share. The reverberations drive her back to the past and her mother’s old rental property, the lone house in a failed subdivision called Liberty Street.

There, memories are ghosts: Frances’s mother on her way to Nashville to become a country singer; her father determined to run his farm despite his failing eyesight; the town’s bad apple, Dooley Sullivan; a string of renters including the December bride, Esme Bigalow, and a man who met a tragic end, Silas Chance.

When a domestic mishap and a torrential hailstorm send Frances to the questionable safety of an eccentric neighbour’s kitchen, she learns just how unreliable memory is, and that she was not the only one whose life after Elliot, Saskatchewan was determined by half-truths and bad decisions.

Second Stories
Second Stories builds on the success of First Stories by providing a continuum of training for three of the twelve Aboriginal filmmakers who delivered such compelling documentary shorts. As was the case with First Stories, the emphasis is on enabling First Nations filmmakers to tell the stories that are important to them and their communities. Two of these shorts will be shown:

Honour Thy Father by Gerald Auger
Honour Thy Father is a poignant look at cultural misunderstanding and its toll on a family’s grief. The loss of his father was a devastating blow for filmmaker Gerald Auger. The local Anglican priest refused to allow the family to bury their father in the traditional Cree way—with the drum and the smudge—because he was buried on Anglican church property. Gerald sets out to resolve his hurt and anger by seeking official church approval to honour his father traditionally; his path leads him to
some unexpected places.

Deb-we- win Ge-kend- am-aan, Our Place in the Circle by Lorne Olson
Filmmaker Lorne Olson had a vision of two-spirited people dancing, smiling, laughing; they were moving without shame, at peace with themselves and their place in the world. Two-spirited people are comprised of a male and female spirit. Historically, they were venerated for their gifts, but such respect isn’t necessarily the case today. Lorne’s vision sparks him to rediscover the strength of the past to better face the challenges of today. This funny and buoyant film documents his touching journey.

Phone: 306-825-5885

An entire night of smooth jazz featuring music of the Crusaders, David Sanborn, Mindi Abair, and the JT Project. Ross Ulmer and Murray McDonnel have put a slate together of fine musicians. On bass is finger phenome Tanner Hnidey who graduates from Grade 12 and has thumbs that literally dazzle the strings. On drums is Connor Sturge who plays funk rhythms like he was born in Alabama; and they are joined up with the funky guitar of Bill MacArthur who shows he can scream in any style. Murray rounds out the rhythm section with his versatile guitar along with a host of sound modules. Carmela McDonald's vocals are a wonderful highlight for the evening. The horns of Ross Ulmer, trombone, and Kirby Hayes, saxophone, provide the final icing to that smooth funky sound.

First music set begins at 7:30 and winding up around 10:30 pm. Doors are open early at 5 pm. Bamboo Sushi is serving supper including sushi and Asian noodle bowls.
