Meet the Indigenous artists featured in Telling Our Story – CBC

Sep 19, 2023

The documentary series features artwork by Eruoma Awashish, Nalakwsis (Saige Mukash) and Prim (Pasa Mangiok)

Animations and illustrations play a significant role in the documentary series Telling Our Story. Beautiful and insightful, they represent the First Peoples’s intangible spiritual world and circular worldview; their visceral connection to the land and all that is alive; and their legends and founding myths. Three artists — Eruoma Awashish, Nalakwsis (Saige Mukash) and Prim (Pasa Mangiok) — created the illustrations, which were then animated by graphic designer Étienne Deslières and his team at DBcom Media.

Telling Our Story, now streaming free on CBC Gem, offers Indigenous perspectives on the past, present and future from the 11 First Peoples whose homelands host Quebec, Labrador, New Brunswick, Ontario and beyond.
