      Film Screening - "ELDER IN THE MAKING"

      ​

      ​

      Join us for an evening screen about Elder In The Making - A Blackfoot Aboriginal and a Chinese-Canadian rediscover their shared heritage. Two young urban dwellers, one a Blackfoot aboriginal named Cowboy and the other a Chinese-Canadian newcomer named Chris, embark on a spiritual journey across traditional Blackfoot territory. Through thousands of years of ancient history guided by the wisdom of modern day elders, they find the beginnings of the long road to reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous people. “Elder in the Making” is a feature documentary inviting all residents of North America to explore the tragic and hopeful history of their home. Through the adventures of two unlikely travel companions, this film uncovers our responsibility as stewards of the land and of the generations yet to come.
