Stoney Film Night at The Whyte

Join us at the Whyte Museum for the screening of two films produced by Stoney youth and community members! Special thanks to the Lux Theatre for the donation of popcorn for this event.

Nomad Warriors: Northstar Filmmakers Harvey Kaquitts, Doamas Kaquitts, and Rain Kootenay Experience the thrill of an age old tradition of endurance, speed, and skill that is Indian relay as we follow a relay team called NORTHSTAR. Blink and you'll miss it.

Terhpi Thâkthâja: Stoney Nakoda, Catharine Whyte and her Museum Stoney Nakoda storytellers explore a museum that holds many artifacts that once belonged to their ancestors. The museum's founder was often called a "friend" of the Indians: what did that mean then? What does it mean today?

Made by members of the Nakoda AV Club, a traditional Îethka storytelling society, this film was a collaborative effort. It was overseen by Giona Smalleyes, Chey Suwâtâgâ Mu, and Jarret Twoyoungmen, all filmmakers from the Nakoda Nation at Mînîthnî. The filmmakers used archives, the museum collections, and interviews with community members and staff to find the story. They filmed exhibits, art projects, and programs at the museum over a period of five years.
