Aboriginality follows an urban youth as he heads down the mystical Red Road, where the sweet grass grows, to re-connect and be inspired by both new and traditional elements of Indigenous culture. We meet world champion hoop dancer and hip-hop artist Dallas Arcand. Aboriginality re-imagines the strength and spirit of First Nations culture through new narrative mediums that connect urban Indigenous youth to their rural ancestral histories. Arcand, a seventh generation Cree from Alexander (Kipohtakaw) Plains Indian Cree Nation. Arcand plays dual roles in being both a positive First Nations presence in mainstream urban media and a touchstone to traditional First Nations roots and culture. Many believe the seventh generation will bring positive change to the world, and in Aboriginality , the power and spirit of culture sweep across time ans space to empower the next generation through heritage and self-awareness. Directed by Dominique Keller, Aboriginality fuses animation by Dan Gies with live-action dance directed by Tom Jackson.
