Notes
1. The Wapikoni was initially sponsored and supported by the ONF/NFB (Office national du film du Canada/National Film Board of Canada), which provided them with offices and financial support. The NFB eventually (2009) decided to let the project stand on its own, all the while continuing to harbor and promote the Wapikoni project/films on its website at: http://www.onf.ca/selections/barbeau-manon/les-cinastes-autochtones-du-wapikoni-mobile/
2. The talking stick is a traditional tool and medicine used in many Native American traditions. The person holding the stick, for example during council, has the right to speak his mind, and every other person present must be silent, listening carefully to the words being uttered.
3. Pierre Perrault is a well know Québec poet, essayist and filmmaker who revolutionized the documentary practice in Québec by introducing the direct cinema style with his famous 1963 documentary Pour la suite du monde. Inquiring into the relationship between community and national identity, Perrault's cinematographic path led him to meet the Abitibi farmers, the Moncton students and the Aboriginal peoples living in the Northern part of the province.
4. A large number of the short films produced by the Wapikoni Mobile are available on its website at: http://wapikoni.tv/
