Kuekuatsheu Mak Muak (Wolverine and the Loon)

In this mesmerizing film, Innu elder Mani Katnen Nuna shares an ancient legend of the wolverine and the loon to a few Sheshatshiu community members in a wood stove heated labrador tent. As the story begins, the youth begin to take on the roles of animals whose story is being told. Set amidst the snowy landscape, these youth depict the eerie story that tells how Wolverine's trickster ways forever transformed the Loon into the bird that we know today. Surfing the line between documentary and drama, this film was created by first time actors. Runtime 14:57:00
