In the Abenaki - People of the Dawn, the first film in G. Scott MacLeod animated Canadian history series, it is Joe Obomsawin’s intimate knowledge of the back roads and hidden trails on the frontiers of Quebec and New England that narrowly saves a group of bootleggers from capture. The escape also provides the impetus for his character’s powerful and deeply personal retelling of the history of his people. Huddled around a fire in a remote cabin, Obomsawin unfolds the tragic, improbable and inspiring story of the Abenaki nation, reduced from 50,000 to some 1,500 over a few hundred years of colonial settlement. A collaboration between director and animator G. Scott MacLeod and author and storyteller Mike Burns from Burns’ series The Water of Life. |
