Penticton: Filmmakers focus on First Voices
Two graduates from the En’owkin Centre are part of a major documentary film project, exploring the creative efforts B.C. First Nations communities are making to preserve their languages for the future.
Megan Fortier and Bracken Hanuse Corlett helped produce the first segment for a new series on the Knowledge Network. Our First Voices is a collection of 13 short documentaries told in their original First Nations languages.
Filmmakers recorded 13 stories using 15 distinct languages, all relating the histories and cultures that link First Nations people in B.C. They interacted with and were inspired by local residents who shared stories that connect them to their cultures through language.
