Scenes, and reality from the North.
I wish more artists would do this.
Ever since I spent a year in the North, I'm amazed by how ignorant and unaware most Canadians (myself until I went there, included) are as to what reality is in the North, and on the rez.
The scenes that I miss seeing. A reality that more people need to be aware of. Not just residential schools and their effects, but the educational apartheid, the third world aspects that are present in our own backyards, the exploitation that's planned, particularly in Plan Nord (damn you, Charest)
