Song on the Water *
A new documentary film by director Robert Lundahl. Song on the Water: The Return of the Great Canoes.
In what has grown to become a yearly
tradition, aboriginal communities of
western Washington and the coastal
and inland waterways of British
Columbia participate in sea voyages
in ancient dugout canoes carved from
cedar.
This is the story of one such voyage, and
what it means to the pullers, ground
crews, and elders who share the waves,
the traditions, and a vision of a positive
future for Coast Salish youth.
What I LOVE about the film is your insight into the
ironies of living tribally in the 21st century --
The film has all of these wonderful moments when
we, the viewers, get to really see the process of
valuing indigeneity by Native peoples themselves.
It is not a simple tribute to Coast Salish peoples,
pretty pictures and wise words, the film makes us
think about the complexities of your subjects' lives.
Having said that, it is also incredibly beautiful --
the lighting, glowing faces and wonderful
photography.

So much flowing clarity. So little ego. So
great is the ancient heritage in the canoes.
So beautiful is a people never conquered,
ever smiling.
