We are thrilled to share this new animated film for the CMS research project, Belonging in Unceded Territory. This beautiful film, which was produced by Sebastian Hill-Esbrand and features the artwork and voices of a number of Indigenous and settler community collaborators, distills the themes and questions of the Belonging project. The substance of the film’s narrative comes from talking circles and interviews conducted in the project’s first phase. We are deeply grateful to the many participants who shared their reflections and experiences with CMS and Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House collaborators.
