Flora Bear's youngest granddaughter searches for information about her Indigenous grandmother's life. Flora was born on Treaty 1 Anishinaabe territory in 1902.  Kim, her grandaughter, developed an understanding of her Anishinaabe identity as she researched the truth behind Flora's tragic death during the tuberculosis epidemic in 1934. Kim learned to make beaded moccasins like Flora did and listened to her mother's few precious memories. Oral history is an Anishinaabe tradition; shared stories bring us together. Kim's family honoured Flora's life and memory by going to the land and entering the sacred space of her unmarked grave, strengthening their identity. Kim Stadfeld, director, is an Anishinaabe woman (she/her) originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba now living in Toronto Ontario. She is Ojibway/Métis on her mother's side and Icelandic on her father's side. Kim is a proud member of the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation in Treaty 1 Anishinaabe territory.
