(Re)claiming Indian Status tells the story of the fight to end sex-based discrimination in the Indian Act and return status to those who had lost it. It’s nominated for a Golden Sheaf Award in the Social/Political Documentary category.
This was the first documentary I worked on where I had the role of voice over artist as well as editor! It was such an honor to be involved in telling this story. I hope that it sheds light on the history the Government of Canada has on taking rights away from indigenous women.
I can’t wait to attend the virtual Yorkton Film Festival and Sheaf Awards this May!
