Frozen River (Nîkwatin Sîpiy)

Bys: Washburn, Michaela, Peters, Joelle, Costello, Carrie

Exploring reconciliation and connection through a story that spans seven generations, Frozen River (n kwatin s piy) tells the story of two eleven-year-olds through the eyes of Grandmother Moon. Eilidh and W pam are born under the same blood moon, but Eilidh was born in Scotland and W pam in Kihci-Manito k ayapit, now known as Manitoba. After sailing across the ocean in hopes of a more prosperous life, Eilidh meets W pam deep in the forest, and the two become instant friends. Coming from vastly different worlds, Eilidh and W pam decide to teach each other about their ways of life. But when a sacred promise between them is broken, the relationship among cultures becomes jeopardized for generations to come.

Frozen River (n kwatin s piy) shows audiences that an openness to learn from those who have protected and honoured the waterways for centuries can lead to healing and reconciliation.
