“Fire is sacred to many Indigenous nations across Turtle Island and represents spirit,” says Wendy Phillips, Elder, Vice President of Sacred Fire Productions, and a proud member of the Wasauksing First Nation. “Our spirit is sacred. Our spirit comes alive through the arts. Indigenous arts are sacred to our people—beyond voice, body, or mind—it’s a spiritual vibration that transcends this world.”

Since 1999, the Circle of Turtle Lodge (CTL) has been a gathering place for culture, healing, and community in the Ottawa Valley. Fully Indigenous-owned and a registered charity, CTL was founded with a clear purpose: to bring back the Traditional Culture and Teachings of the region’s Indigenous Peoples and to pass them on for generations to come.

When people think of film festivals in Canada, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) often takes top billing. But if you want a more intimate lens on the country’s culture and creativity, the best place to look is a midsize festival. Increasingly, that place is the Forest City Film Festival (FCFF), now entering its milestone 10th season.

In 1991, a wolf named Pluie was fitted with a satellite collar near Alberta’s Banff National Park. Over two years, she roamed 100,000 square kilometers, crossing three U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.
