Having made their debut with Wapikoni Mobile, Samian, Melissa Mollen Dupuis, Marie-Pier Ottawa, Kevin Papatie, and Raymond Caplin have developed innovative filmmaking and musical approaches. In the movie, THE INDIANS, THE EAGLE AND THE TURKEY, as in their lives, these youth redefine what it means to be an “Indian” today, and claim the medium of creation to build a new image of themselves, amidst tradition and modernity.
