Another interesting film from Aboriginal Perspectives:

If the Weather Permits

In 2003, three teenagers from the village of Kangirsujuaq in Nunavik, Northern Québec, find a cross carved in stone and share their thoughts in Inuktitut about heaven and hell, “white” religion, ancestral spirituality and shamanism with filmmaker Elisapie Isaac.

This is a subtitled movie, spoken in Francaise….interesting!

In his quest to reconnect with the spiritual values of his people, Burkinabe director Hyacinthe Combary creates a dialogue between the Gourmantche of Burkina Faso and the Atikamekw of northern Quebec, realizing that soul-searching is universal. Combary notices a similarity between their two cultures in regards to the importance of working in the woods and being connected with Nature as a way to foster fundamental ancestral human values in the young.

I love this video because of the name of the artist “Sacred Spirit”.  Yeha Noha means “wishes of happiness and prosperity.”
