She emerged from Oka as a 14-year-old Mohawk with a bloodied body, a

wounded spirit, and a battered soul. Today, six years later, a scar

marks the spot where a soldier stabbed her in the chest with a bayonet

as she left the Oka barricades. But deeper scars, the emotional ones

On March 31, the National Film Board cancelled funding for its

Aboriginal film making body, Studio One.

Studio One was headquartered in Edmonton, and had been set up to enable

Gravdon McRae, Executive Producer for the film board's North West

Centre, explained that the program was cancelled as part of a rethinking

of how the National Film Board could best serve Aboriginal film makers.
