'When I started, we were dead people': Tantoo Cardinal on bringing nuanced Indigenous stories to the screen

To understand the legacy and trajectory of Tantoo Cardinal's renowned acting career, you really have to understand the cultural context she was born into. "I was born only [five] years after Emily Carr passed away," the Indigenous icon tells Q 's Tom Power in an interview. "If you look at her work, it's all about the dying culture and the dead Indian…. So when I started, we were dead people." By the time Cardinal landed her first professional acting role in 1971, she says there was "massive ignorance" about Indigenous peoples across Canada. Fueled by rage, she turned to acting and storytelling as a form of resistance. "I understood the power of stories," Cardinal says. "Those stories had to be changed to empower ourselves to decolonize … to get back to the origins of who we are." In 1986, Cardinal moved to Los Angeles to find more work. That's where she landed a career-changing role in the Oscar-winning film Dances With Wolves, opposite Kevin Costner and Graham Greene. For a lot of people, Dances With Wolves was the first time they saw Indigenous people being represented in a way that highlighted their humanity. "There was a lot of magic surrounding that movie and I knew that it was significant," Cardinal says. "It was going to be in a Native language and then I asked them, 'Could you use a language where there are some materials, so that the actors have something that they can use to learn what the language is? … So that's how Lakota became the language that they used." Recently, Cardinal was honoured with the Equity in Entertainment Award at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Canada gala in Toronto. The award recognizes the Canadian acting legend's tireless work to bring authenticity, accuracy and nuance to Indigenous stories. When she looks back on her career now, Cardinal can see how her advocacy helped lay the groundwork for greater Indigenous representation today. "There's no turning back," she says.

National Indigenous Peoples Day to be marked with hundreds of events

Hundreds of events are planned across the country Saturday to mark National Indigenous Peoples Day, recognizing First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures and traditions. Prime Minister Mark Carney will take part in a closed event to mark the day, which was first observed in 1996. The office of Gov. Gen. Mary Simon said she will host youth at Rideau Hall in Ottawa to mark the day by crafting paper hearts with "messages of reconciliation, hope and commitment." The Governor General will plant the hearts in Rideau Hall's "heart garden," which honours Indigenous people who died in residential schools, along with survivors. "Each heart is a symbol of our collective responsibility to listen to and carry forward their stories — of pain and disappointment, strength and courage — and to commit to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action," Simon's office said. Countrywide events A sunrise ceremony in St. John's kicked off the day's events. The ceremony included prayers, greetings to the sun and giving thanks to the Earth. Attendees also participated in a smudging ceremony and shared blessed water and berries. "We're very fortunate to be one of the first in Turtle Island to greet the sun. And so that's a big responsibility for us to do that in a good way," said Kelly Young, a spokesperson for First Light, a local non-profit that offers services to the Indigenous community and works on preserving Indigenous culture. Festivals, markets and more will be happening in communities across the country. Events in Montreal include a barbecue, summer market and live comedy, while in Ottawa, the Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival, taking place Saturday and Sunday, features a competition powwow, traditional foods and teaching sessions. Fort York National Historic Site, featuring traditional dances, live concerts and a food market.

New children's book explores history of Canada's potlatch ban

Growing up, Samantha Beynon struggled with reading and writing. She overcame those challenges, later earning a university degree and becoming a teacher. It was while spending time in the classroom she noticed a lack of curriculum for children to learn about Indigenous traditions, culture and history. Now a Nisga'a educator and author, Beynon is trying to fill that gap, and has just released a new children's book, Celebrating Potlatches, all about the important ceremonies that were banned by the Canadian government for over 65 years. Potlatches are specific to Indigenous communities on the west coast, where nations gather in song, dance and prayer to commemorate significant life events, such as a birth or marriage. "Potlatches are about generosity and leadership," Beynon told CBC's Daybreak North. "It's a time to share food, stories, songs, dances and gifts. It's how we honour our guests, show respect and how we keep our traditions strong." The ban on potlatches was legislated under an 1884 amendment to the 1876 Indian Act by the Canadian government, which came into effect in 1885, according to the Canadian Encyclopedia. The legislation made it a criminal offence for anyone to participate in a potlatch — and if they were caught doing so, they ran the risk of being arrested. The potlatch ban was reversed when the Indian Act was revised in 1951. Beynon said despite the ban, First Nations in B.C. kept the tradition alive, hosting potlatch ceremonies in secret. The picture book is made for young children, aiming to make a heavy topic easier to digest, said Beynon. "I believe in the power of stories and I'm excited to keep sharing them with the next generation," she said. The book is inspired by Beynon's late great-grandfather, William Beynon, who was a Ts'msyen and Nisga'a hereditary chief and oral historian. Beynon said her great-grandfather helped preserve the culture of the Ts'msyen and Nisga'a peoples by working with elders and researchers to compile over 3,000 pages of stories, documenting the languages and traditional ceremonies. "His work helped protect our culture during a time when it was under attack. Today his records still guide language revitalization, treaty work and cultural education." Beynon said that as Indigenous people continue to reclaim their culture, potlatches can only grow stronger. "Our future generations are going to be extremely proud."
