The Edible Indian

Directed by Cass Gardiner
Canada, 2013 (documentary, 19 minutes, colour, English)

Film Description:
"The Edible Indian is a short glimpse into the long history of ceremony, food and its role in Indigenous identity. Director Cass Gardiner (Anishinaabe) weaves the memories, rights of passage, and spirituality of three First Nations chefs as they cook. While re-creating their favorite meal, each chef paints a portrait of how what ends up on the plate tells a story of where they came from, who they are, and where First Nations people are headed in the 21st century."
