Guest Speaker

Following the film we will have a Q&A session with our special guest Jacob Beaton

Jacob Beaton is an award-winning Indigenous entrepreneur and leader with previous business successes under his belt. Jacob holds the traditional name Dzap’l Gye’a̱win Skiik, meaning a busy eagle, or an eagle who gets things done.

Film Description

Against the backdrop of colonization and the climate crisis, Jacob Beaton, a passionate Indigenous entrepreneur, has embarked on a remarkable journey. His vision is to transform his family farm into a beacon of hope for Indigenous food sovereignty. In a world where the connection to the land has been fractured, Jacob aims to revive the abundance that once defined Turtle Island.

Warning: This program contains brief discussion of suicide, as well as the impacts of residential schools. Viewer discretion is advised.
