Tentsítewahkwe – We Pick It Up Again (2024)
As a young girl, Jessica Shenandoah (Wolf Clan from the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation) learned about harvesting medicine and edible plants alongside her mother and grandmother. Contemporary Native Peoples are often separated many generations from their traditional knowledge due to the effects of colonial realities such as boarding school, forced religion, and land theft. In Tentsítewahkwe, the latest film centering Native women by Mohawk filmmaker Katsitsionni Fox, Shenandoah goes on a journey across four seasons and multiple Native territories to connect with other knowledge keepers reviving the land-based wisdom of foremothers in order to return to time-honored practices of pottery making, mat weaving, hide tanning, medicine making, food gathering, and more. Jessica embodies the Mohawk concept of tentsítewahkwe as she picks up knowledge of the old ways, these slow methods of creating and connecting in reciprocity with the Earth. Tentsítewahkwe is at once a thank you to the Native women who imbued their descendants with blood memory of these practices and a promise to future generations of Native Peoples that these practices will stay alive for generations to come.
Kanenon:we – Original Seeds
Kanenon:we – Original Seeds carries viewers into the grassroots Indigenous seed sovereignty movement led by Haudenosaunee women. It offers a glimpse into the challenges facing the world related to food security. It is a powerful view of what is possible in Indigenous communities working towards food sovereignty. Prior to European contact there was a rich and vibrant diversity of foods, with women primarily responsible for caretaking of the seeds. Genocidal practices including, boarding schools, land theft, forced relocation, imposed religion and even food warfare contributed to a disconnection from our traditional foods and seeds.

Public Notices/Announcements - Burlington/Oakville - Concert! Sophisticated Swing: 25 years
Sophisticated Swing is a big band consisting of nineteen musicians and vocalists from the Golden Horseshoe area who work hard to create an outstanding big band sound. We love to play and sing music that audiences want to hear.
Founded in 1999 by trombonist Carl Hamilton, Sophisticated Swing offers a new approach to musical entertainment. Here, finally, is a big band that plays more than the traditional swing music of the 40's and 50's. We also have a large repertoire of the best tunes of the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and to the present.
Our concert "Sophisticated Swing: 25 Years of Big Band Magic" is a captivating celebration of the enduring allure and evolution of big band music over a quarter-century. This genre, deeply rooted in the vibrant jazz scene of the early 20th century, has continually captivated audiences with its dynamic rhythms, rich harmonies, and the sheer spectacle of a large ensemble in full swing. Over the past 25 years, big band music has experienced a renaissance, with musicians infusing contemporary elements while honouring the classic sounds of legendary figures such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Benny Goodman. This era has seen a revival not just in performance, but also in the innovative arrangements and compositions that keep the genre fresh and relevant. "Sophisticated Swing" pays homage to this musical journey, highlighting the influential bands and artists who have contributed to the genre's lasting legacy and its ability to unite listeners across generations with its joyous, sophisticated sound.
