I had a great evening while attending the AFN Parliamentary Reception, with National Chief Cindy Woodhouse-Nepinak and Dr. Alanis Obomsawin — the legendary NFB documentarian now filming AFN sessions for her 53rd film. A remarkable evening celebrating leadership, storytelling, and Indigenous voices.
