This interactive project for the NFB was created by Kevin Lee Burton and Alicia Smith. It’s a visual narrative that explores life in God’s Lake Narrows, one of many reservations in Canada.
Kevin’s words are lifted with well balanced images and expressive audio compositions. It allows you to feel the story Kevin is sharing of the place he grew up. Thought provoking and truthful, the piece exudes life as it may be on the thousands of reservations that cascade across Canada. It serves to break the stereotypes perceived by many about “Indians” in Canada.
Check out some great music outta New Zealand!
With a new album due to be released June 2012, the Juno Award winning producer and Juno Nominated MC/singer/musician/artist Kinnie Starr will be playing the West End Cultural Centre on June 28th, 2012 with Keri Latimer (of Nathan) opening the show.
2012 is the next phase of Kinnie Starr’s exciting journey. With a hotly anticipated new record being prepared for June release and several other recording projects nearing completion, multiple artistic projects in development, an award-laden 2011 following brightly behind her, and all kinds of fresh creative energy, Kinnie Starr is poised to soar to even greater heights.
Canadian Juno Award winning songwriter Keri Latimerʼs career began in the visual arts. While deeply immersed in an intensive graphic design program, she began to play guitar as a distraction. Since 1999, Keri has been fronting the Winnipeg based band Nathan.

Dear Prime Minister:
When I heard your words in the House of Commons that were deemed an apology for the debacle of Canada’s residential school system, I was heartened. At that time, it was nothing short of amazing to hear a prime minister use the word “wrong” in reference to Canada’s treatment of aboriginal people. Now, nearly four years later, I look at the astoundingly hurtful cuts to organizations whose sole purposes are the re-empowerment and well-being of aboriginal people, and I am disheartened. Hell, Mr. Harper, I am downright angry.
We want you to tell us about that one Holly song that changed your life! …or your day!
