Film Description: "Mary Two-Axe Earley: I Am Indian Again shares the powerful story of Mary Two-Axe Earley, who fought for more than two decades to challenge the discrimination against Indigenous women embedded in Canada's Indian Act and became a key figure in Canada's women's rights movement. Mohawk filmmaker Courtney Montour uses never-before-seen archival footage to engage in a deeply personal conversation with the late Mohawk woman who stood up to challenge sexist and genocidal government policies that stripped Indigenous women of their Indian Status when they married non-Status men. Montour speaks with Nellie Carlson, Mary's lifelong friend and co-founder of Indian Rights for Indian Women, and meets with three generations in Mary's Kahnawake kitchen to reflect on and honour the legacy of a woman who galvanized a national network of allies to help restore Status rights to over 100,000 Indigenous women and children." -- National Film Board of Canada (source) |
