Sinopsis:
|
Focusing on fragments of histories, pre-contact, contact, and the settlement of the Kelowna area though the accounts of several nSyilxcen (Okanagan) speakers. ‘part 4’ traces connections and correlations between the periods of extermination/disintegration, assimilation, and marginalization to their present day and context of being First Nations. Sites of social and historical significance are encountered juxtaposed with the current realities of the area’s ‘landscape’. An experiential videotape that lends itself not to a comprehensive survey, but a sifting through the layers of time and present, an inconclusive yet incisive speculation, a history lived and survived. Through various generations of accounts, the familiar and historical read the existing with the disappeared, just past the surface, digging into our (not unproblematic) relationship with the complexities of the past, our presence here, and that of the original inhabitants of this place. |
