Here, she ponders the relationship between the Inuit past and the future in today’s world.

On Canada’s Pacific coast, winding from the north end of Vancouver Island to the Alaskan border, is more than 400 kilometers of forested inlets and islands. This is the largest tract of intact temperate rainforest on Earth. Here, millions of spawning salmon that support dense concentrations of forest life, including grizzly bears, black bears, bald eagles, seals, otters, gulls and the Gitga’at First Nation, return every year. Bathed in mist and rain year-round, this is one of the most biologically diverse and lush places on the planet.
First ‘Movie Monday’ At Heard Museum This Monday

The 70-minute film, released in 2003, follows the journey of the Haisla to reclaim their traditional mortuary pole.
