True Story

True Story (2022)

Starting with the creation stories of many nations, TRUE STORY shares the history of Indigenous peoples prior to contact. It covers the period of our shared history when collaboration between Indigenous people and settlers was, in many cases, mutually beneficial. Especially for the Europeans, who would have died without it. Indigenous people taught newcomer Europeans how to survive in sub-zero temperature climates in foreign lands, providing them with knowledge of how to hunt, trap, cook, and preserve food, natural medicines of the land and even how to bathe! But it wasn’t long before “collaborate” would be traded for a different “c” word — “conquer”.
