Art & Identity with Stan Hill Jr & Family.
Stan Hill Jr. is a Haudenosaunee artist living in Miawpukek First Nation Reserve, Conne River, Newfoundland. In "The Bear Inside a Whale," he and his family discuss racism, identity, religion, creation and art, along with the cultural extinction of the Beothuk of Newfoundland. Throughout the film, we follow Stan carving a bear out of a whale vertebra. And we visit The Rooms (museum) in St. John's, Newfoundland, where Stan talks about viewing and reclaiming Indigenous artefacts, and faces resistance from management.
