Spirit, survival and a stand-off: storytelling research through video animation with Yellow Quill First Nation
Erin Poochay & Myron Neapetung, Yellow Quill First Nation, Lori E.A. Bradford, Rebecca Zagozewski & Lalita A. Bharadwaj, University of Saskatchewan
This project was developed in response to a request from Yellow Quill First Nation to share Elders’ lived experiences of water on a reserve as a story, and reveal how those experiences influenced the state of the water today. Elders, community leaders, youth and researchers built relationships through a process of creating an empowering art-animation video that embodied the six “Rs” of research with Indigenous people: respect, relevance, reciprocity, responsibility, relationality and reconciliation.
