Reciprocity Trusts presents this screening of NAMESAKE, a Tla'amin Nation film about place, memory, and what it means to live together.
In the coastal community widely known as Powell River, a request from the Tla’amin Nation sets off a public conversation.
What happens when a place is asked to remember differently?
Through interviews, archival records, oral histories, and community gatherings, təm kʷaθ nan (Namesake) follows the unfolding discussion around a possible name change for the city and the deeper question beneath it.
Whose stories live in the place we call home?
Join us for a film screening, followed by Q&A with aʔǰɛmaθot, Davis McKenzie, Executive Producer and representatives from Reciprocity Trusts.
