Telling Our Story

Documentary series

 

For the first time on television and in digital media, 11 First Peoples whose homelands host Quebec, Labrador, New Brunswick, Ontario, and beyond tell us who they are. Abenaki, Anishinaabe, Atikamekw, Cree of Eeyou Istchee, Innu, Inuit, Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk), Mi'gmaq, Naskapi, Huron-Wendat, and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) tell us—in their own way and from their perspective— their worldview, their connection to the Land, their values, their spirituality, their stories that span millennia, their wounds, their struggles, their victories, and their hopes. They bring depth to our great collective narrative, decolonize History, and honour the Ancestors and Mother Earth.

Part of a large-scale transmedia project, and the first of its kind to bring together Indigenous voices from 11 First Peoples around a common goal.

 
Telling Our Story is a celebration of our resistance, our resilience, and our revival.
— Kim O'Bomsawin, Director
