1994 | 51 min
In this acclaimed 1994 documentary, Loretta Todd, a leading figure in Canadian Indigenous cinema, profiles four contemporary female artists—Doreen Jensen, Rena Point Bolton, Jane Ash Poitras, and Joane Cardinal-Schubert—who seek to find a continuum from traditional to contemporary forms of expression. Each artist reveals her practice and journey in her own words. The film is a moving testimony to the vital role Indigenous women play in nurturing Indigenous cultures.
