SYNOPSIS
A short documentary about life in Northern Quebec and the differences in living conditions between the Cree and local non-natives. A story about how being Métis and trilingual in northern communities raises some questions about the social dynamics between the Cree and non-Natives living in Chisasibi. The film discusses conversations with non-natives about the 3Ms of the North (misfits, missionaries and money makers) and the role that white fragility, white space and the white savior complex play.
