Indigenous Circle Workshop: Jordon river anderson, the Messenger – Thursday, March 24, 2022 from 6:00pm-7:30pm
Date: Thursday, March 24, 2022
Time: 6:00 – 7:30pm
Registration Link: https://tinyurl.com/IC240322 Password is emailed 1 hour before start time.
Facilitators: Stefanie Fiore and Emery Alday
Fee: FREE
Event Details:
CCSC presents Jordan River Anderson: The Messenger an Indigenous themed movie that reveals the inequitable access to health care in Canada.
Please join us to de-stress from your regular challenging/daily activities to learn about and appreciate diverse cultures.
Movie Synopsis: Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger by Alanis Obonsawin<https://www.nfb.ca/directors/alanis-obomsawin/>
When five-year-old Jordan River Anderson died with a rare muscle disorder known as Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome in 2005, he had spent all of his young life in hospital. The Federal and Manitoban governments argued for years over who was responsible for his home-care costs.
He was never able to talk or walk and was kept on a ventilator until he died at Winnipeg Children's Hospital, almost 1,000 km away from his family's home in Norway House First Nation.
In an exposé of blatant governmental disregard, award-winning Indigenous filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin documents the long struggle of Indigenous activists demanding the government recognize and enforce "Jordan's Principle" — the promise that no First Nations children would experience inequitable access to government-funded health, social, and educational services again.
SPECIAL WARNING
The film contains some violent scenes and/or aggressive comments. We will take pauses at specific parts of the film to address them, perform small debriefing reflections and check on participants reactions. We invite attendees to reach the facilitator, Calumet & Stong Colleges resources, or any of York University resources to receive additional support if needed.
