Canada's First Nations' films

Our local PBS station has recently added an all Native/indigenous station with programing on Native Americans, Native Hawaiians and many shows about Canada's First Nations. Like all PBS stations the programs range from kids' shows to cooking, crafts, gardening and documentaries about history & culture, but all focusing on indigenous peoples.
Native Americans are increasingly becoming involved in the film world as writers, directors and perhaps even producers. Tribes themselves are funding these new forms of expression and occasionally there is government support as well. This card advertises the National Film Board of Canada, producers and distributors of films. To see more about this office, visit their webpage: https://www.nfb.ca/
