Short Doc Night - Woodland Cultural Centre

Published On: January 26, 2022Categories: Education, Events, Film, Online Activities

We would love for you to join us this Sunday, January 30th for our Short Doc night. There will be three short docs that have been selected by our Arts Programming team that you will love. Each doc is unique and beautiful and showcases the knowledge of Indigenous tribes throughout Turtle Island.

Lake Winnipeg Project: Fisher River by Kevin Settee. This film narrows in on stories of generosity and perseverance in Fisher River Cree Nation amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The film includes stories of the purchase and distribution of fish on a community and intra-community level. There are stories of mothers who experience unique challenges of their own while continuing to provide support and care to their families and communities.

Emily Pauline Johnson, born on March 10, 1861, and

Emily Pauline Johnson, born on March 10, 1861, and passing just before her 53rd birthday on March 7, 1913, was an influential writer, poet, and entertainer. The daughter of Mohawk Chief George Johnson and Emily Howells, E. Pauline Johnson proudly celebrated her Hodinohsho:ni heritage through her poetry, most famously in "The Song My Paddle Sings."

During her career she adopted her grandfather’s traditional name, Tekahionwake (double wampum) as her stage name. She captivated audiences with her performances while making significant contributions to Indigenous and Canadian literature. Today, she is recognized as a Person of National Historic Significance, with her childhood home honoured as a National Historic Site and museum.

After retiring in Vancouver, she continued to challenge societal norms regarding race and gender as a successful, unmarried Indigenous woman. Her impactful work resonated with both critics and fans during her lifetime, and a monument in Stanley Park honours her legacy.

To learn more about E. Pauline Johnson take a tour through the Woodland Cultural Centre museum, open Monday - Friday 9-4 and Saturdays 10-5. Email tours@woodlandculturalcentre.ca to book a guided tour for your group.
