Hamlet might seem like an odd theme for an Indigenous feature film, but Mesnak just walked away with the 2012 Best Film, Best Actor and Best Actress awards at the American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco. As the debut film for Yves Sioui Durand (Huron-Wendat), a Montreal theatre director, Mesnak confonts the unsavory aspects of ongoing colonialism in Canada, like identity loss and cultural corrosion in Native communities, through one family’s tragic story.

We're fighting for our lives

Indigenous Peoples are putting their bodies on the line and it's our responsibility to make sure you know why. That takes time, expertise and resources - and we're up against a constant tide of misinformation and distorted coverage. By supporting IC you're empowering the kind of journalism we need, at the moment we need it most.
