Elder in the Making

The Office of the Treaty Commissioner and the University of Saskatchewan is proud to host the “Elder in the Making” film—a road to reconciliation! The film will be screened at the Gordon Oakes Red Bear Centre on March 24 at 6:30 p.m. The director and producer will be in attendance for a Q & A following the film. Admission is free.

About the film

Two young urban dwellers, one a Blackfoot Aboriginal named Cowboy and the other a Chinese-Canadian newcomer named Chris, embark on a spiritual journey across traditional Blackfoot territory. Through thousands of years of ancient history guided by the wisdom of modern day elders, they find the beginnings of the long road to reconciliation between indigenous and non-indigenous people.
