For the first time ever, Cranbrook History Centre is hosting a month-long event dedicated solely to the screening of Indigenous documentaries.

Reel Injun and Inconvenient Indian, will be screened daily at the museum until April 1. The films, selected by the National Film Board of Canada, explore themes related to cultural appropriation and historical accuracy in Hollywood, and the ongoing struggle to preserve First Nations culture and tradition.
