AANIKOOBIJIGAN [ANCESTOR/GREAT-GRANDPARENT/GREAT-GRANDCHILD]

SPONSORED BY Mary Baiamonte

Trapped in museum archives, Ancestors bend time and space to find their way home. AANIKOOBIJIGAN follows tribal repatriation specialists as they fight to return and rebury Indigenous human remains and sacred objects from settler institutions. Blending essay and vérité, this daring film confronts the history of colonial collecting and the ongoing battle to recognize and enforce the laws meant to facilitate bringing their Ancestors home.
