Indigenous Movie Screening:
Mother of Many Children

Thursday, September 28, 2023
6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Joins us for a celebration of Indigenous culture with a film screening of Mother of Many Children.

Released in 1977, Alanis Obomsawin honours the central place of women and mothers within Indigenous cultures. An album of Indigenous womanhood, the film portrays proud matriarchal cultures that for centuries have been pressured to adopt the standards and customs of the dominant society. Tracing the cycle of Indigenous women?s lives from birth to childhood, puberty, young adulthood, maturity and old age, the film reveals how Indigenous women have fought to regain a sense of equality, instilled cultural pride in their children and passed on their stories and language to new generations.
