Set in a speculative future on Turtle Island, this poetic short follows the Welcomer, a vessel of First Nations resilience, and the Arrivant, a traveller from the African diaspora. As ancestral dreams shape reality, their paths converge to reimagine First Contact – not as a clash, but as a shared act of kinship and healing.

Through rhythmic storytelling rooted in Afro-Indigenous futurism, they forge a sanctuary of solidarity, where Black and Indigenous stories are entwined in resistance, memory, and hope.

Dedicated to his grandparents, family, and Elders, Connor reimagines a world where the true stories of colonization can be told. He seeks to unpack language, teachings, and history while using both oral storytelling and traditional regalia. After six generations without fluent language speakers in his family, Connor seeks to understand the impacts of loss by speaking directly to his ancestors. "Pour tout ce que tu n’oses pas dire | To All The Words You Never Learned" dares to ask "how have our words changed us?" He explores the ways in which colonization prevented the use of traditional language and dictated the use of the English language. He shares the traditional words they never learned and the ways they were forbidden to resist.

Two truths can exist at once.

A place like Sudbury, the slag, and mining have a very dual meaning. On the one hand, they represent economic structures, job opportunities, memories, and more. On the other, they represent extraction, violence to Mother Earth, and violence to Indigenous women.

Where we have destruction, we can also have resurgence.
