Kanesatake

Like, remember how I said there are hundreds of Native Nations inside the US alone? Well, even that's complicated.

About 40 Native Nations today have territories split in half by the US border, like the Kanehsatake or Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne to the north, or the Tohono O'odham Nation to the south, and many, many, many Native Nations, like the Ho-Chunk, were forced away from their ancestral homelands and live in a totally different region today.

But with just 24 episodes, we needed to narrow down so we have room to go deep, so that's why we'll be focusing mainly on the history of Native peoples in the United States, and that's why we're calling this series Native American History.

I fought for the name A Brave and Handsome History of Native America, but I was not successful.

I mean, it was fun watching with the group as well.

I think, uh, last one I'll mention, uh, this one is a, this one is a documentary, uh, Kanesatake, 270 years of resistance.

What a swerve.

I was talking like smut.

My female directed film was I've Heard the Mermaid Singing.

My indigenous directed film is Kanesatake, 270 Years of Resistance.

My French language film is Orders.

And my wildcard was My Winnipeg.
