Nimmikaage
2015

Both a requiem and an honouring of Canadas First Nations, Metis and Inuit women, Nimmikaage (She Dances for People) deconstructs the layers beneath the recorded pageantry of Canadian nationalism and shifts the balance of power to reclaim the Canadian narrative, putting the enduring strength and resilience of Indigenous women at the forefront.

"Michelle Latimer's Nimmikaage (She Dances for People) deconstructs Canadian nationalism."
Kevin Ritchie - Reelscreen
