César et son canot d'écorce

1971 57 min
Leaving soon

Documentaire qui nous livre les étapes de la construction d'un canot à la manière atikamekw. Un art de plus en plus oublié, même chez les Amérindiens qui l'inventèrent pourtant. César Newashish, Atikamekw de 67 ans habitant la réserve de Manouane aux confins de la Haute-Mauricie, construit un canot d'écorce à la manière d'antan, n'utilisant que l'écorce du bouleau, les planches du cèdres, les racines de sapin et la sève gommante. Film sans paroles.

In Aboriginal culture, the making of the canoe is more than a means of transportation. What does it signify? Compare and contrast this canoe and one bought at Canadian Tire. Why go through all the time and effort to build one? What values are represented in the film? What are some other ways in which traditions are passed down in Aboriginal culture? In our culture?
