!992, A Native Vision, Research after Oka 1990

Good morning, holy father. Thank you for the early rise. Thank you for today. May others be as fortunate as I am protect the good people. The world help all the ones that are in the darkest. Find a way back to your son, holy father. Protect my son and my twin brother, my two sisters, my oldest brother and olive loved ones protect the good people of the world protect their families. Help us find your truth, father to have faith in your holy Son, father, thank you for this day. Amen
Good morning, all hope you're doing well. Be kind have courage. Every day is a blessing amen.

1992 A Native Vision was the result of a grant from the Canadian Native Arts Foundation to work on my film When Wires Cross which eventually became 7 Fires 4 U Kitchi Manitou, an experimental narrative that came out of the Oka crisis of 1990. it was a difficult film to get done, I was told it was too political at various times, told it would just increase the politics heat  at the time. John Kim Bell gave me a bit of money to research so I ended up going to Oka  after my work with the Karen Jamieson dance company. They went to Fredericton and I went to Quebec to research all the aspects of the Oka crisis less than two years before the July 11th. standoff so this is the result of that early research, a research video plus sharing  a bit about myself in understanding my past and and all that resulted from  those early years
