<p>Some of the long-standing silence about Black prairie pasts was punctured in 2020 and 2021. In June of 2020 some 15,000 people gathered in Winnipeg in the name of Justice4BlackLives. Early in 2022, viewers should be able to watch a television series inspired by Winnipeg’s sleeping car porters, and it will be the biggest Black-led television production ever made in Canada. We still know too little about Black prairie pasts, and Vernon’s book, and these thoughtful responses to it, give us crucial ways to start better considering Black prairie histories.</p>

<p>My name is Carlie Kane, and I am the grand daughter of Elizabeth Terry Southwind, a matriarch from Obishikokaang [Lac Seul First Nation] on Treaty 3 territory. As an intergenerational survivor of the Indian Residential School and the Indian Day school system, re-learning my Anishinaabe identity and reconnecting with the Land and Water is part of my journey. This is my story.</p>

<p>Amazing films by Indigenous filmmakers are not just fun to watch, but are also an important component of working toward a more just future in which respect for Indigenous territories, rights and responsibilities are fundamental to how we all live.</p> <p>In disrupting stereotypes, showcasing Indigenous excellence and teaching about histories and contemporary realities that matter, Indigenous filmmakers are leading the way toward a better future.</p>
