REEL Canada / DAREarts trip to Webequie – DareArts
April 29, 2016
DAREarts partnered with REEL Canada to participate in their National Canadian Film Day, April 20th. I arrived a day early to settle in and chat with Webequie First Nation’s Chief and Council and Simon Jacob Memorial Education Centre’s Principal, Mary Gardiner, about the upcoming film event. Webequie First Nation is a remote, fly-in community about 1,000 kilometres north of Thunder Bay. April is a lovely time to visit! I’ve been coming here for DAREarts for over 8 years now, as part of a team of artists/educators working with the youth and Elders to create works of art, theatre, music, poetry and videos. It’s an incredible relationship that has grown over time, rooted in trust and raised in Oji-Cree culture and language.
