Overview

In L’Nuk 101: Finding Common Ground, filmmaker John Houston (Songs in Stone) examines the role education can play in the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Along with Dr. Cynthia Alexander and students from Acadia University, Houston facilitates an exercise in Engaged Learning, where aboriginal teachings are given real-world context and represent another way of achieving justice. Ultimately, the participants strive to answer the question: Where do we want to be generations from now when we talk about the relationship between aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples of this country?
