Excerpt from opwêyakatâmêw, a single channel video/experimental short created from footage gathered near Gregg Lake, AB. Featuring Todd Houseman, Kieran Houseman, Kyle Houseman. In the video, three nêhiyaw brothers take a walk on their traditional territory and through a forest they explored as children. They find an object eaten and gnawed by a beaver and imbued with an animate energy. A voiceover of their grandfather offers a teaching in their language, nêhiyawewin.
