About
8th fire is a provocative, high-energy journey through Aboriginal country showing why we need to fix Canada's 500 year old relationship with indigenous people: a relationship mired in colonialism, conflict, and denial. The title of the series "8th fire" comes from the Anishinaabe (Ojibway) prophecy of the Seven fires, with the eighth fire being an era of spiritual illumination.
Indigenous is the city (episode 1): Introduces a diverse cast of indigenous characters living in the cities. They are united in a shared bond as Canada's First Peoples and in their determination to reassert their culture within a wider population of non-indeigenous Canadians.
It's time (episode 2): The ancient Wampum belts hold a clue to the future. The Supreme Court of Canada now confirms the promises they hold as the truth. The First Nations of this country were not conquered. They signed treaties to share the land, and this means Aboriginal people must be consulted and accommodated when anyone wants to dig, explore or develop on their land--container.
Whose land is it anyway? (episode 3): There's no getting around it. Land is the biggest sticking point in the relationship between Aboriginal peoples in Canada and the "settler" population. Who owns it, benefits from it, gets to say when, if and how it gets developed? These questions are all the more crucial because the lands in dispute sit on a treasure-trove of resources, which the world is eager to buy from Canada. But don't despair. This episode ... explores the creative ways of working this out--container.
At the crossroads (episode 4): A fascinating range of artists, activists and business people take us through ways to shed the colonial past, build new pathways in education and economic development. This is all in pursuit of a new relationship to replace 500 years of conflict and injustices--container.
