my indian name

My “Indian” Name is a one-hour documentary that takes a look at how having their traditional names stripped away from them has impacted Indigenous peoples. Without their original names, people are often left trying to find how they fit in this world. Luckily today, steps are being taken to reclaim their basic right to their true names.

As set designer I was required to re create settings such as the Indian Agent’s office of the 1950’s and the dormitory of a residential school in that time period.
