Anoki
’More than a Photo ~ More than a Powwow’

Directed by Aurélie Debusschère

October 11
7:00pm, at Double Edge Theatre

A young  Nipmuc man  who grew up as a talented Pow Wow singer with his brothers, shares his love of Tradition, Family, Music, and the overwhelming challenges to maintain them.

In a modern world full of complexities, contradictions, and far too often hardship towards Indigenous peoples; he struggles to find his place between Two Worlds.

Under the guidance of his father: award winning writer /poet Larry Spotted Crow Mann, Elders, and the Ohketeau Cultural Center, Anoki begins a renewed journey  amid the nurturing background of his Tribal homelands.

Anoki  opens up his Heart like the Sacred Drum, so that we may listen in earnest to the reverberating message of urgency that must be told, witnessed, and shared across the World.

This unflinching Truth Telling exposes the moral ambiguity of our society and challenges us all to be Present, when far too often Indigenous Peoples are viewed in the rearview mirror.

An unforgettable and intimate journey that reveals the resilience of the human spirit, culture and how Indigenous allyship can work towards restorative justice.
