...speaking of resurgence

8th Fire- At The CrossRoads

At the close of the series, we meet young Aboriginals preparing to change the future, determined to light the 8th Fire and build a new relationship with Canada.

A fascinating range of artists, activists and business people take us through ways to shed the colonial past, build new pathways in education and economic development. This is all in pursuit of a new relationship to replace 500 years of conflict and injustices.

For each of the following stories, answer the following questions:

Why are they interesting and important right now in history?

What has this person done to change the political and social landscape of Canada?

What Indigenous topics is connected to their work and lives? 20 marks
