Alanis Obomsawin, a filmmaker for more than 50 years, is the newest recipient of the Edward MacDowell Medal. She has 56 films to her credit and is 90 years old.
"My main battle from the beginning was really to fight against the educational system, which was for so many generations, teaching the history of this country, really, against us," she said.
"You know, we went from the time that all the doors were closed on our people no matter what it is they wanted to do, and now it's totally the opposite. It's open," said Obomsawin. "Beyond the films that she made, her life and her activism and the path that she's forged for so many other Canadian Indigenous artists sets a precedent of how to actually tell our stories from authentic points of view," said Calder.
