In 2019, the Earth is dying and will no longer be habitable for human lives. Mysterious entities from another galaxy recognize humans’ struggles and give the opportunity to some of them to start a new life on a new planet, an Exo Planet. Elder Joseph, Teen Wetin and Teen Sabrina are chosen and will meet locals of the new planet. How will they be able to live together and learn from each other, and above all, take care of the environment?

Use of the Youth Fusion theme in the film – Our universe
The theme for the movie was making the team think about our school, our community, but mainly about space. We had a lot of ideas about having aliens in our movie, good or bad, who would kidnap our people from Mistissini to a new place. We thought of a flying school bus, even dinosaures making bannik; a mix of what we know here, in Mistissini, and space. We thought about the Earth dying, because it’s a fact. We can see a lot of changes in the community due to climate change, and we hear a lot of stories from our elders about it too. We sometimes wish we could change something in our universe. We decided to have good aliens giving a chance to restart to a few humans, who would meet people who look like us, talk cree like us. Our universe, but on an exo planet.

The Quebec Cree School Board Arts Education Concentration Program is an interdisciplinary enrichment program that aims to increase student retention by reinforcing Cree identity through artistic expression. The aspiration for the program is to inspire youth by introducing them to various contemporary Indigenous artists and to create contexts for students to collaborate with professional Canadian artists through four intensive in-school, seven-week artist residencies.
This program promotes collaborative work, bringing together students, artists, teachers and community members to create positive learning spaces for creative initiatives to flourish, all the while promoting artistic literacy and recognition of the importance of the arts. This program will connect Cree youth to artists from diverse arts disciplines that include: musicians, visual artists, actors, spoken word artists, filmmakers, dancers, multimedia artists and traditional artisans. Program themes include storytelling through the arts, expressing collective student voice and communicating personal messages on a larger scale.
Throughout the residency, artist in residence will engage in the creation their own body of work, which should align with the programs goals and themes. Students will be able to observe the processes of the artists as they engage in to the completion of their own work, creating meaningful links between aspiring and professional artists.
The program is rooted in the belief that connecting high school students with current working professional artists can play a valuable role in increasing students’ interest and attachment to school. This program’s aim is to engage working Canadian artists in collaborative programming initiatives to work alongside teachers in generating interactive programming that promotes students’ appreciation for the arts; hooks them to learning through their personal interests; and facilitates the creation of effective, meaningful artistic productions. Our overarching goal is to promote accountability, and to empower students by providing them with opportunities to discover, build and share their personal and collective voices through the arts.
This programming culminates in end of term showcases, where students and artists in residence will have the opportunity to share their work with their immediate community. In addition, students will be invited to apply to the annual N’we Jinan Music Arts Festival; a celebratory event showcasing the dynamic talent in the Eeyou Istchee.
Mistissini Healing Trailer (June 2017)
MISTISSINI HEALING is a short documentary about Cree youth overcoming their struggles in the midst of a system that has set them up to fail.
In this documentary, you will meet youth who are intergenerational survivors of the Residential School system, struggling with broken families, mental illness, suicidal inclinations, dropping out of high school and substance abuse, and watch how they ultimately cope with isolation, loss of traditional culture and silence by seeking various forms of healing from these byproducts of the Residential School system. Aboriginal youth are the fastest growing demographic in Canada, while the aboriginal suicide rate is six times that of non-aboriginal youth, therefore this issue should be of national priority. This will be explored through the relationships I have built with the youth of Mistissini through my involvement in previous socially engaged art and leadership projects.
