ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Our first guest Julian Brave NoiseCat is an Oakland-raised author who has garnered wide acclaim and awards for his first book We Survived the Night. The first indigenous filmmaker in history nominated for an Academy Award, he talks with us about his moving documentary Sugarcane which lays bare the horrific abuses of Canadian residential schools, focusing on the one where his own family members were sent and where his infant father was rescued from an incinerator.
Claire Greensfelder and Toby McLeod discuss the new Native Vision Film Series at Berkeley’s David Brower Center featuring In the Light of Reverence, Sugarcane, and The Eternal Song on Aug 14, Sep 16 and Oct 18.
The 7th annual free Native Ways Festival happens Saturday, Sep 26 at the Ohlone Park. Condolences are offered to the family of Pit River artist Jean LaMarr who recently joined the ancestors and whose work at the Ohlone Park will still be honored in a planned celebration.
