“For me, I share my story as much as I possibly can because it’s not something that we can just forget or move on from.”

~Chief Gordon BlueSky, Brokenhead Ojibway Nation

"Shooting in communities was essential to establish Coming Home’s core themes of land, family, and (re)connection. Images of the land are present to illustrate our connection to the land and how “coming home” is also coming home to oneself, to the land, and to Mother Earth. While archival elements (including period AIM advertisements, interviews, and news footage), establish the #SixtiesScoop realities and the dominant cultural mindset that allowed these policies. Interwoven with moments from the Little Bird set, and deeply personal interviews — #ComingHome unfolds the connections between past and present..lived experiences, and stories." Erica Marie Daniels, Director of Coming Home Documentary and CEO of Kejic Productions.

The Brokenhead Ojibway Nation (BON) is a Treaty One Nation located northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba on Hwy 59. A proud and thriving First Nation with 2,112 members and 801 living on reserve, this community focuses on providing education and opportunities that can help assure a positive future for their youth, families, and Elders.
