In the early days of talkies, film was used to capture the languages of indigenous peoples on the brink of extinction, but today young indigenous filmmakers are using the medium to tell their own stories, in their own way, in their own languages. They are reclaiming the languages and stories projected in mainstream Hollywood films and using language as a storytelling tool in their films. We hear from a Toronto Cree actor Toronto; a director of films in his native Muskogee language (Seminole); a Cree director in Quebec; Ojibwe Lorne Cardinal, an actor in Corner Gas; and an Alaskan producer of the first film ever written entirely in the Inupiaq language.
