Synopsis

Gently Whispering the Circle Back (49:13) was commissioned by Blue Quills First Nations College (Alberta, Canada) as a community resource for “Healing and Reconciliation”.  Inspired by the work of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Gently Whispering the Circle Back shares a journey of healing for all Canadians in a nation wounded by the Indian Residential School System (IRS). With dignity and deep sincerity, survivors and the children of survivors share their personal stories with us. We become part of a “circle of healing” as participants confront the trauma of the IRS; come to understand the trauma; release their pain; and speak of transcending the trauma through the recovery of tradition, language, ceremony, and personal dignity. Gently Whispering the Circle Back is a powerful story of human resiliency and generosity.

 

Gently Whispering the Circle Back is owned and distributed by University Blue Quills.

Available with a facilitator’s guide for community and classroom engagement.
