History of Manawan - Part One
« It’s not how it used to be. » The words of Cézar Néwashish resonate throughout this short documentary that explores the history of the Atikamekw community of Manawan, Quebec. Less than a century old in name, Manawan embodies the experiences of so many Indigenous communities across Canada. Where once they practised their customs freely on a vast territory, the arrival of the Europeans would eventually mean the restriction of their cultural practices and confinement to a reserve named Manawan. This short is part of the Manawan series directed by Alanis Obomsawin. Remastered on DVD in 2009.
