Anoki: More than a Photo-More than a Powwow

Indigenous Heritage Film Festival Feature Length Film

A young Nipmuc man who grew up as a talented Pow Wow singer with his brothers shares his love of Tradition, Family, Music, and the overwhelming challenges to maintain them. In a modern world full of contradictions and far too often hardship towards Indigenous peoples, he struggles to find his place between Two Worlds. Under the guidance of his father, elders, and the  Ohketeau Cultural Center, Anoki begins a renewed journey amid the nurturing background of his Tribal homelands. He opens his heart like a sacred drum so we all may listen earnestly to the reverberating message of urgency that must be told, witnessed, and shared to create a better understanding among people and restore justice for Indigenous communities.

Presented by producer Larry Spotted Crow Mann & filmmaker Aurélie Debusschère on Friday, Oct. 13, at 7:00 PM.
