Join Woodland Cultural Centre on the 25th for January’s Teióia’ks iakwateró:roks – (We Watch Movies) Film Series screening of Innu Nikamu: Sing and Resist by Kevin Bacon Hervieux at 7 PM. Follow Hervieux as he retraces the wonderful journey of the Festival de musique et des arts autochtones Innu Nikamu in Maliotenam.
The origins and evolution of the Innu Nikamu Music and Aboriginal Arts Festival are intimately linked to the cultural and territorial roots of the Innu people and to the life of the Mani-Utenam Reserve community. Through the music which has accompanied the Innu people throughout their history, director Kevin Bacon Hervieux traces the fabulous story of the founders, musicians, artisans and collaborators who ignited the hope of a community and dared to believe that the reappropriation of their culture and their language was not an impossible challenge.
