About the film:
In Hands of History, Vancouver filmmaker Loretta Todd and The National Film Board honour the gifts of four remarkable First Nations women artists: Doreen Jensen, Rena Point Bolton, Jane Ash Poitras and Joane Cardinal-Schubert. If you’ve never seen this film, it’s time you did.
Stó:lō artist, activist and weaver, Rena Point Bolton, recently shared her life story in Xweliqwiya: The Life of a Stó:lō Matriarch, published by Athabasca University Press in 2013.
Join us at 6:30 on December 3, 2014 at The Gathering Place, UFV’s CEP Campus in Chilliwack. Light snacks, dessert and refreshments will be served.
Discussion will follow the film screening. Hear elders and colleagues speak, including Indigenous Studies faculty, Dr. Wenona Victor and Visual Arts faculty member, Dr. Geoffrey Carr.
