hat is Indigenous law? What do stories teach us about Indigenous law? What do these laws teach us about living well in the world – in relation with the land and each other?
Join us for a screening of three film shorts exploring aspects of Indigenous law followed by a facilitated discussion with filmmaker Kamala Todd, of Indigenous City Media.
Kamala Todd is a Metis-Cree grateful guest born and raised in the beautiful lands of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Skwxwú7mesh-speaking people (also known as Vancouver). She is a community planner, filmmaker, writer and curator with a Masters degree in cultural Geography (UBC). For six years she was the City of Vancouver’s Aboriginal Social Planner. Kamala’s film credits include Indigenous Plant Diva, Cedar and Bamboo, RELAW: Living Indigenous Laws, and Sharing our Stories: the Vancouver Dialogues Project and many others. Kamala writes and directs for children’s television, including the Indigenous science series Coyote’s Crazy Smart Science Show on APTN. She is the author of “This Many-storied Land”, in the 2016 book, In This Together: Fifteen Stories of Truth and Reconciliation. She recently completed a report for Vancouver Park Board entitled, Truth-Telling: Indigenous Perspectives on Working with Municipal Governments. She lives with her partner and two sons in the beautiful shíshálh and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh lands of the Sunshine Coast.
