The Anishinaabe are guided by the Seven Grandfather Teachings—Love, Bravery, Humility, Wisdom, Honesty, Respect, and Truth. In Seven Truths, we explore each teaching through the eyes of Anishinaabe storyteller Tanya Talaga, and through the lives and experiences of people she’s proud to know. These truths, told through contemporary stories, help us find common ground here on Turtle Island, so that we can live together, justly.
We meet Lucille Atlookan, a young Indigenous woman from Eabametoong First Nation, and white artist Lora Northway. This story of learned humility emerges from what happened when their paths crossed at the Neechee Studio, an Indigenous art collective born out of patience, trauma, and strength. We see how their uneasy relationship is a stand-in for both the problems and the potential of their divided city, Thunder Bay.
