FILM DESCRIPTION
Club Native (2007) is a candid and deeply moving look at the pain, confusion and frustration suffered by many First Nations people as they struggle for the most important right of all: the right to belong. Director Tracey Deer uses her own Mohawk community of Kahnawake as a lens to probe deeply into the history and contemporary reality of Indigenous identity. Following the stories of four women, she reveals the exclusionary attitudes that divide the community and many others like it across Canada. By tracing the roots of the problem, from the advent of the highly discriminatory Indian Act through to the controversy of Bill C-31, up to the present day, Deer raises the difficult question faced by people of many ethnicities across the world. What roles do bloodline and culture play in determining identity?
