Everyone is welcome to join Wolastoq Grand Council and the CEDAR project for a free screening and New Brunswick premiere of the film Singing Back the Buffalo at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, February 19 at the Gallery on Queen, 406 Queen St. in Fredericton.
Wolastoq Grand Council Chief Ron Tremblay (spasaqsit possesom) and Susan O’Donnell, lead researcher of the CEDAR project at STU will introduce the film and facilitate a discussion with those who stay on afterward.
The film, part of the Cinema Politica series, explores one of the impacts of colonization on the Great Plains and how buffalo herds of North America are making their return. The film features Blackfoot Elder Leroy Little Bear, weaving an intimate story of humanity’s connections to buffalo and how their return to the Great Plains can usher in a new era of sustainability and balance.
The film raises many questions about the impact and responses to colonization for Indigenous communities in New Brunswick, across Canada and globally. The film premiered at many national and international film festivals in 2024. More info and watch the trailer
