  • What Is Planet Indigenus ? “We Are All from Somewhere, a Place on This Earth from Where We Trace Our Ancestors
    August 2011 issue What is Planet IndigenUs ? “We are all from somewhere, a place on this earth from where we trace our ancestors. Indigenous people trace ancestry back through time immemorial to places of origin; places where they are rooted; and places that brought forth a unique culture, language, spiritual framework and environment.” Planet IndigenUs is about Us After a long and exhaustive search, I am very pleased to announce that Jerry Longboat has been appointed as Co- Artistic Director of Planet IndigenUs festival . Jerry Longboat is Mohawk- Cayuga of the Iroquois Confederacy; he is Turtle clan from Six Nations of the Grand River in Southern Ontario. Jerry Jerry Longboat has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Michigan and the Ontario College of Art and Design. He has extensive professional training and practice in traditional and contemporary forms of visual art, dance, theatre and storytelling. Jerry creates from the oral traditions of his people; history, teachings and stories. In 2002, after a 15 year artistic career, Jerry began work as a Program Officer at the Canada Council for the Arts, working with Aboriginal dancers and dance organizations across Canada. Then in 2010, Jerry joined the Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health as Cultural Coordinator to deepen his work with community. He is very excited to bring his passion for nurturing the rich, cultural and artistic legacies of First Peoples to the Planet Indigenous Festival. Jerry will be relocating from Ottawa and will join the Harbourfront Centre team on August 22, 2011. He will work with Janis Monture, the amazing Executive Director of the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford (our Planet IndigenUs producing partner) who is Co-Artistic Director for 2012, and served as AD for the 2009 festival.

Scott and actress Carmen Moore (counsellor Leona Stoney) say they are passionate about Blackstone’s authenticity. NYONE who says Canadian TV is missing out on the boom of premium network drama should watch Blackstone, a little known Canadian drama with world-class ambitions, that has arguably done better in international markets than at home. This is the stuff that The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are made of. The series’ unflinchingly gritty and realistic depiction of life on Canada’s indigenous reserves has been applauded by activist groups and honoured with a truckload of award nominations. Blackstone has also earned itself a worldwide audience that, thanks to Netflix, may be set to expand exponentially. 1 | P a g e The series revolves around the fictional Blackstone reserve, which seems to be forever facing disintegration by its own hands, and every episode carries an M18 warning: mature content; suitable for viewers over 18.
