Film Description:
"How to Steal A Canoe is the story of a young Nishnaabeg woman and an elder Nishnaabeg man rescuing a canoe from a museum and returning it to the lake it was meant to be in. On a deeper level, we witness the act of stealing back the precious parts of us that were always ours in the first place as Indigenous people. The film's sound design conveys the story through both music and storytelling. The spoken lyrics are performed by Nishnaabeg poet Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. The original score was composed by Cree cellist Cris Derksen."
