PowWow at Duck Lake

Members of the National Youth Council, including Duke Redbird and Harold Cardinal, actively resist and use their voices to tackle issues of colonization. They have a powerful exchange with a hostile priest to work towards their goal of creating awareness about residential schools, denial of citizenship rights, loss of language, mass incarceration and how these disparities create barriers in developing a reciprocal trusting relationship between Indigenous People and the Canadian Government.
