Cedar and Bamboo (2010, 22 min.) is the story of the Chinese in Canada and how they have created unique relations and shared experiences with indigenous peoples since landing there so many generations ago. Filmmakers Diana Leung and Kamala Todd explore those relationships through the lives of four people of Chinese and Aboriginal ancestry.
Maria Tallchief (2007, 57 min.) focuses on the life and artistry of a woman who rose from an Indian community in Oklahoma to become America's first prima ballerina. Filmmakers Sandra Osawa and Yasu Osawa take you through Tallchief's life and how she changed ballet in America.
The Osawa filmmakers also tell the story of Princess Angeline (2010, 53 min.), daughter of Chief Seattle. The film explores the story of the Duwamish and their unrecognized tribal status primarily through the life of Princess Angeline.
