Doreen Manuel hasn't added a story.
I am Running Wolf (Doreen Manuel), of Secwepemc and Ktunaxa descent. I am a filmmaker, spiritual woman and I carry the spiritual prayer pipes of my father George Manuel.
George Manuel spent a week in ceremony in Cree territory in the Rocky Mountains, prior to leading his people in his role as National Chief. I plan to follow in his footsteps by beginning the most challenging part of making the George Manuel movie, with a four-day ceremony at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Each film that I have directed, I start with a prayer. The spirits guide me on my journey. This is my greatest challenge. I have interviewed many people about my father. Few are able to speak about the most intimate parts of his life. He was a very private man, more interested in hearing about other people than speaking about himself. I choose ceremony to try to reach his spirit so that I may be closer to my father and guided by his vision. First Nations people have a close relationship with the spiritual world. My hope is to feel his voice and to find direction in the assembly of this important film about his life and leadership of our people. One of the last things my father asked me to do was to make sure the people don'y forget about him. At that time I didn't think that was possibile because of his great contributions. However, today there are more people who don't know who he was, than do remember all that he contributed.
I am asking for your help to pay for travel expenses to get my film crew and spiritual helpers from Vancouver to Alberta to the sacred site for this ceremony.
George Manuel was one of the most influential First Nations leaders and prophets in world history. http://www.ubcic.bc.ca/about/george.htm
