A vibrant tribute to Margaret Harris, an Indigenous elder who devoted her life to keeping her culture alive. A colourful multimedia narrative, a stream of images, dance, song, carved masks and sumptuous regalia. A powerful upholder for Indigenous culture, Margaret Harris (1931–2020) was instrumental in revitalizing traditional singing, dancing, storytelling and regalia-making on British Columbia's Northwest Coast. With her husband, Chief Kenneth Harris (1928–2010), she founded the Dancers of Damelahamid company in 1967, out of a sense of urgency to preserve these ancestral practices. Her daughter Margaret Grenier, supported by her daughters and granddaughters, has taken up the torch. Raven Mother — a reference to the raven, the clan's crest—pays tribute to the unwavering determination and commitment of the matriarch and the vital role of mothers in passing on a precious legacy. Bridging Indigenous traditions and more contemporary forms, this is an immediate and essential immersion in a rich and remarkable culture.

Vibrant hommage à Margaret Harris, aînée autochtone qui a consacré sa vie à maintenir sa culture bien vivante. Un récit multimédia haut en couleur, un torrent d’images, de danses, de chants, de masques sculptés et de costumes somptueux. Porte-étendard de la culture autochtone, Margaret Harris (1931-2020) a joué un rôle prépondérant dans la revitalisation du chant, de la danse, des récits et de la confection des régalia sur la côte nord-ouest de la Colombie-Britannique. Avec son mari, le chef Kenneth Harris (1928-2010), elle fonde la troupe Dancers of Damelahamid en 1967, dans l’urgence de préserver ces pratiques ancestrales. Sa fille Margaret Grenier, épaulée par ses filles et petites-filles, a repris le flambeau. Raven Mother — référence au corbeau, emblème du clan — rend hommage à la détermination et à l’engagement sans faille de la matriarche ainsi qu’au rôle primordial des mères dans la transmission d’un legs inestimable. Jetant un pont entre les traditions autochtones et des formes plus contemporaines, une immersion immédiate, essentielle, dans une culture riche et remarquable.
