Inninimowin (Cree) is spoken in several Native communities across Canada. Although it is considered one of the most preserved Native languages; it is also at risk of disappearing. This goal of this documentary is to mend the gaps in understanding between generations by exposing the harsh treatment of Native peoples and moving towards reconciliation and healing. Remembering Inninimowin captures the lost conversations between generations.

NiiSoTeWak: Two Bodies, One Heart
Jules A. Koostachin

NiiSoTeWak means “walking the path together.” Tapwewin and Pawaken are 10-year-old brothers trying to make sense of the world, their family and each other. They’re already grappling with some heady questions about identity. What does it mean to be a twin? What does it mean to be Cree? How do you define yourself when you’re forever linked to someone else? The twins discuss these questions with their two elder brothers — 22-year-old actor Asivak and 20-year-old basketball player Mahiigan — and their parents, Jules and Jake.
