"I'm Not the Indian you are thinking about" at Harbourfront

Michael Crabb reports today in the Toronto Star on "I'm Not the Indian you are thinking about" from Red Sky.

Since I first worked with Sandra and Carlos at Red Sky in 2003 on "Caribou Song" while serving as General Manager at Soundstreams Canada, I have admired their choice in projects and their voice in Canada in dispelling stereotypes about native people.

There is actually a lot of vested interests on both sides in keeping those stereotypes alive but until we move past them we really can't have understanding nor begin to work together on the social justice problems that we'd all like to see addressed effectively.
