The Musqueam people have lived for thousands of years in and around what is now the city of Vancouver. (The word Musqueam is an anglicized term describing “where the Muxqui [river grass] grows.”) Director Kevin Lee Burton’s new film meticulously combines film language with Hunkamenum words to recreate Musqueam elder Larry Grant’s experience of rediscovering his language and cultural traditions.
A production of the National Film Board of Canada.
