About this event
Using never-before-seen archival footage and audio recordings, Mohawk filmmaker Courtney Montour engages in a deeply personal conversation with the late Mohawk woman who challenged sexist and genocidal government policies that stripped First Nations women and children of their Indian status when they married non-Indian men.

Montour speaks with Cree activist Nellie Carlson, Mary’s lifelong friend and co-founder of Indian Rights for Indian Women, and meets with three generations in Mary’s kitchen in Kahnawà:ke to honour the legacy of a woman who galvanized a national network of allies to help restore Indian status to thousands of First Nations women and children.

Film length: 34 minutes (a Vimeo link will be sent out on the morning of March 8)
Panel discussion to follow (a Zoom link will be sent out on the morning of March 8. Once you have watched the film via the Vimeo link, join by Zoom at 12:05 pm for the panel discussion.)
