Synopsis

The Indian Act, passed in Canada in 1876, classified members of Aboriginal peoples as second-class citizens, distinguishing them from the white population. Traditionally nomadic, they were relocated to reservations to regulate their behavior and manage their resources. Additionally, thousands of Indigenous children were removed from their families and placed in residential schools with the goal of Christianizing them. This process has been described as a form of cultural genocide and continues to have lasting effects on Canadian society.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
