RAISED BY THE CANOE

The Terry Lee Canoe Club, from Sts’ailes First Nation, traces its origins to a family-based crew that began decades ago. This beautiful dugout canoe was more than a vessel - it was a gathering place, a vessel of stories, and a bridge between generations. Its history is woven with the voices of founders and early members, each stroke of the paddle carrying forward the wisdom of the past for the future generations of paddlers.

Director: Cathrine Paul
Producers: Jeremy Dyson and Cathrine Paul
Editor: Tim Chui
Composers: Keegan Charlie and Kelsey Charlie Sr.

A powerful story of family, tradition, and generations connected through the canoe. Experience Raised by the Canoe on the big screen at the Historic GEM Theatre!
