Dion of the Kehewin

Joe Dion, Florence Buffalo and Madeline Dion, of the Kehewin Reserve in Alberta's northeast corner, can trace their family line back to the venerable Cree chief, Big Bear. Joe talks about his visit with Queen Elizabeth II during the Alberta Centennial in 2005, as head of a delegation seeking redress for Treaty 6. He explains that he didn't want to see the constitution repatriated without Indigenous rights being enshrined. His sister Madeline, widely recognized for her work on women's health issues, discusses the systematic erasing of memory that her people have had to overcome. Florence explains her sense of responsibility to her children in passing on family lore.

A Family Tree Narrative portrays six families of Canada's First Nations through the oral traditions of storytelling. Celebrating their ancestry as far back as the stories go, they share the relationships that have given them strength, pride and love throughout the years. Through an exploration of each family's legacy, the stories weave hope and challenge, loss and triumph in the lives of the First People of this land.
