Amnesty International Reel Awareness Film Festival Presents Our People Will Be Healed
Our People Will Be Healed, Alanis Obomsawins 50th film, reveals how a Cree community in Manitoba has been enriched through the power of education. The Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre in Norway House, north of Winnipeg, receives a level of funding that few other Indigenous institutions enjoy. Its teachers help their students to develop their abilities and their sense of pride.
Q&A After the screening
Guest speaker: Patty Wesley Briscall Krawec
Patty Wesley Briscall Krawec is an Anishnaabe Ukrainian woman with roots in Lac Seul First Nation.
Her Anishnaabe name is Wabanan Anangokwe, morning star woman. The morning star is the light which appears just before dawn, when the night is dark and the light has not yet begun. Eighteen years in social work, including work with sexual assault victims and in the field of child welfare have shown just how dark the night can be. Patty is an active member of her local Indigenous community and a Board member of the Fort Erie Native Friendship Center. She also sews ribbon skirts and shirts, traditional clothing worn for ceremony and visibility. Some have been donated to fundraisers such as the Onaman Collective and Stop Alton Gas. These skirts are visible on Instagram via Patty WBK.
