Storyline & Synopsis

The film focuses on fragments of history, pre-European contacts, interactions, and colonization of the Kelowna region (south-central British Columbia) through the stories of several N'Syilx'cen (Okanagan Nation) speakers. It traces the links and correlations between periods of extermination/disintegration, assimilation, and marginalization up to their present day and their context of belonging to First Nations. Sites of social and historical significance are juxtaposed with the current realities of the region's "landscape." An experiential video that lends itself not to an exhaustive study, but to a sifting through the layers of time and the present, to inconclusive but incisive speculation, in a history that has been lived and survived.
