- CACHE Productions in association with Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery presents the story of local Red Deer community Kokums Bertha Poor and Rosina Winnie as they remember their experience of residential school in northern Saskatchewan. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada report has 94 recommendations, or calls to action. A Historic Survival is a powerful short film inspired by a talk from Senator Murray Sinclair, commissioner of the TRC, at Red Deer College in March 2016 shortly after the publication of the TRC report. A Historic Survival is informed by a history that Canada is reconciling, or attempting to reconcile with. This film checks several calls to action mentioned in the TRC report. This film is an example of recommendations 84, 85 and 86, which call upon the media to help with reconciliation. The film also exemplifies 67 through 76, calling on museums and archives to step forward to help with reconciliation. Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery has created an exhibit to tell the story of residential schools and the impact to the central Alberta community, with this film as a central element in the exhibit. Within the story are examples of how gathering information about missing children and burials can help with reconciliation. I could go on, but most of all A Historic Survival is a powerful story of two people sharing and using their brutal childhood experiences to imagine a better world.
