SAMAQ'AN: WATER STORIES (ENGLISH)
This is a powerful new TV series that looks at water issues in North America. Human connections to water in the indigenous world are a mix of physical and spiritual, often combing pragmatic needs with that which nourishes the soul. Our series examines the impact of industrial development upon the waters that surround us as well as to bring TV viewer's inspirational stories that re-connect us to water. The series introduces presenter, Severn Cullis Suzuki to TV viewers. Jeff Bear and Marianne Jones direct this TV documentary series.
Sacred Head Waters: Loveman Nole
Sacred Heat Waters: Loveman Nole visits a vast territory in northern British Columbia where a watershed is now threatened by an open pit mining operation.

Grandson Michael Bourquin carries on his grandfather's tradition of storytelling and brings us a first person perspective.
Fraser River (Part 1)

Fraser River (Part 2)
Fraser River simply put is a visual feast, an artistic and lyrical documentary. The episode features some of the most stunning visual scenery of the lower Fraser basin. A spare but concise narrative blends smoothly into the melodic samplings of the series composer. In this episode we hear about the water lilies.
Tetzan Biny: The Disappearance of Fishing Lake (Part 1)
TeTetzan Biny: The Disappearance of Fishing Lake visits one of the last great water systems of the Tsilhqot'in plateau. The area is now threatened by gold and copper mining operations that can destroy the fish population of a vast region. We visit a spectacular wilderness while the waters are still in a pristine condition.
Akwiten
Akwiten follows the rebirth of the birch bark canoe, inspired by the emergence of an ancient Maliseet canoe from a European collection. Kim and Wayne Brooks are central figures here, with the launching of a replica of the 180-year-old Grandfather Akwiten canoe in the Wolostok River in 2009.
