Wapikoni mobile and the Coteau-du-Lac National Historic Site invite youth and their families to attend the screening of Enraciné.e pour avancer (Rooted to Move Forward).

A young Indigenous boy stands on a unicycle with his hands on the saddle in a snowy landscape in Northern Canada.

The program features 15 short films selected by Catherine Boivin, an Atikamekw artist from Wemotaci, who served as curator-mentor to two young curators, Alexandra B. Dominique, an Innu from Mashteuiatsh, and Myriam Grenier, an Innu from Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam. The short films address themes such as identity and diversity in Indigenous cultures.

Ambassador Christina Brière will be there to introduce the short films and answer questions from the audience.

Target audience: youth aged 7 to 12

Languages: alternating between indigenous languages, English, and French (the screening includes subtitles)
