摘要：Indigenous youth face numerous challenges in terms of their well-being.
Colonization enforced land and cultural loss, fractured relationships, and restricted
the use of the imagination and agentic capacity (Colonial policies, structures, and
approaches in education have been detrimental to Indigenous youth (Nardozi, 2013).
Many First Nations leaders, community members, and youth have expressed a need
for a wider range of activities that move beyond Western models of knowledge and
learning (Goulet & Goulet, 2015). School curricula in Indigenous communities are
incorporating alternative pedagogical tools, such as the arts, that not only allow youth
to explore and express their realities and interests but that also offer them holistic
ways of learning and knowing (Yuen et al., 2013). This article describes a
participatory arts research project which featured film production and was delivered
in the context of a grade 10 Communications Media course. The research took place
at a First Nations high school in a Neehithuw (Woodland Cree) community in
northern Saskatchewan. This article highlights the content of the films produced, the
benefits of the filmmaking experience, and the challenges faced by the teacher and
students during the process.
