00:00Our film, Fancy Dance, is a love letter to Indigenous women and the love that we hold
00:06for each other, the love we hold for our communities.
00:09It's Native women, it's your aunties, it's your grandmas, it's your sisters who really
00:15give you a sense of self.
00:17I feel so loved and so supported and my strength to move forward comes from my matriarchs.
00:26I'm grateful that the women who've come before me have given me the strength to kick open
00:30a door and now I'm standing to hold it open for girls like Isabelle to walk through.
00:37Something that Fancy Dance does so well is it shows Indigenous peoples and Indigenous
00:42women in such a real way.
00:46We are real people and Indigenous stories are real and it's so lovely to see that on
00:54the screen because growing up I didn't have that.
00:58To be a part of something that Indigenous women can look at and see themselves reflected
01:04in is such a beautiful thing and it's such a lovely thing and I'm so grateful for that.
