Rachel Notley Rachel Notley April 15, 2016 April 15, 2016 4 21ST ANNUAL ESQUAO AWARDS Messages Message from the President and Founder, Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women Welcome to the 21st Annual Esquao Awards Gala at the Ramada Edmonton Hotel on Treaty Six territory and the Metis homeland. Although we acknowledge the terrible socio-economic statistics that tell us that the situation for Indigenous women has not yet improved, we are optimistic for the future. We are encouraged by Premier Notley setting up the Status of Women Ministry and the recognition the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women has received in the Department of Indigenous Relations. The new NDP government has endorsed the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and we are confident that they will implement the recommendation on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Call to Action and the Inquiry into the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. This has never happened before! I am very pleased to announce 2016-2026, IAAW’s “Decade to Awaken the Nation.” Starting in the communities, we will continue to focus on promoting the positive image of Aboriginal women in Alberta with campaigns such as “Why I love my mother” and other activities that support both men and women in the parenting of their children. We will continue to build a Circle of Sisterhood with women here and across the world and empower other business, corporations and government to help us “Awaken the Nation.” IAAW will lead the movement to provide opportunities for each and every one to support this important work. The women we are honouring tonight have shown resilience, strength and determination in making their lives and others better. They are truly, the “Angels Among Us.” We welcome Ashley Callingbull- Burnham into the Circle of Honour. She is young and beautiful and has shown that being on the international stage is a great way to create awareness of the strength, intelligence and beauty of all Indigenous women. Thank you to all our special guests and our sponsors who have supported our organization and the Indigenous women of this province at this 21st Annual Esquao Awards Gala. Enjoy this evening of celebration! Sincerely, Muriel Stanley Venne C.M., B.A.(Hon.)

  • Falls Around Her

    Falls Around Her

    Baswewe Films and The Film Farm Present FALLS AROUND HER Starring Tantoo Cardinal Written and Directed by Darlene Naponse PRESS KIT SYNOPSIS Falls Around Her follows Mary Birchbark (Tantoo Cardinal), a legendary singer who returns to the vast wilderness of her reserve to reconnect with the land and her community. Mary begins to sense that someone might be watching her. Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mary embraces isolation as she explores the psychological impact of her past and present. PRODUCTION NOTES Work and Walk in a Good Way Honour the Seven Grandfathers teachings: Honesty – Wisdom – Respect – Bravery – Humility – Truth – Love Those words and several others would accompany Falls Around Her’s first callsheet and would be included in every callsheet during the shoot. For the Anishinaabe people, the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers is a set of teachings on human conduct toward others. As film crews employ many people from several different backgrounds, it’s a daily reminder to treat all creation with respect. And cast and crew took those words to heart every day and it contributed to a joyful set. Even more amazing given that there was a mix of crew of indigenous and non-indigenous people. The crew for Falls Around Her became an amalgamation of Toronto and Atikameksheng Anishnawbek/Sudbury/North Bay crews along with many indigenous locals. For the locals, it was the biggest production to ever have its home base on the reservation, and they were prepared for the challenge and the collective hard work of all is reflected on-screen.

    Exploring human experience in the North research arƟ cle “Indigenizing” the Bush Pilot in CBC’s ArcƟ c Air Renée Hulan Saint Mary’s University, Halifax Abstract When the Canadian BroadcasƟ ng CorporaƟ on (CBC) cut original programming in 2014, it cancelled the drama that had earned the network’s highest raƟ ngs in over a decade. Arc c Air, based on Omni Films’ reality TV show Buff alo Air, created a diverse cast of characters around a Dene bush pilot and airline co-owner played by Adam Beach. Despite its cancellaƟ on, episodes can sƟ ll be viewed on the CBC website, and the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN) has conƟ nued broadcasƟ ng the popular show. Through a content analysis of Arc c Air and its associated paratext, read in relaƟ on to the stock Canadian literary fi gure of the heroic bush pilot, this arƟ cle argues that when viewed on the CBC, the program visually “Indigenizes” the bush pilot character, but suggests only one way forward for Indigenous people. On the “naƟ onal broadcaster,” the imagined urban, mulƟ cultural North of Arc c Air—in which Indigenous people are one cultural group among others parƟ cipaƟ ng in commercial ventures—serves to normalize resource development and extracƟ on. Broadcast on APTN, however, where the show appears in the context of programming that represents Indigenous people in a wide range of roles, genres, and scenarios, Arc c Air takes on new meaning. Keywords: media; television; Canadian North; content analysis The Northern Review 43 (2016): 139–162 Published by Yukon College, Whitehorse, Canada yukoncollege.yk.ca/review 139 In 2013, the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) lost the broadcast rights to Hockey Night in Canada, a contract that the private broadcaster Rogers Media secured for $5.2 billion.

A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.
