Ancestral Skin Markers Mini Docs S01 E03 : Sabre Pictou

Ancestral Skin Markers is a series of documentary short films that highlight the life, work and passion of ancestral skin markers from across the globe.

Episode one features Mi'kmaw skin marker Sabre Pictou working out of Eel River Bar New Brunswick, Canada. Sabre shares the reality that despite that despite colonial attempts to erase us, we are gifted knowledge in our dreams. So follow your dreams. And remember nothing is ever truly lost.

This episode was supported by Arts Nova Scotia and I acknowledge that support and am thankful for the opportunity to create work that tells the story of our artists and storytellers.

Footage found in the introduction was shot by Steven Recalma, Wes Wilson, Toonasa, Billie Jean Gabriel, and myself. All other footage was filmed on location in New Brunswick by me.
