A film about inclusion, identity and hand-drawn heroes. If you can’t find a hero, create your own; for mountain biker, skier and artist Brooklyn Bell, that hand-drawn hero was a comic character named Ruby J. Using Ruby as a role model, Brooklyn set out to “live like her, breathe like her, be unapologetically black like her,” finding her own identity in a mix of dirt, snow, art and inclusion.

DAVE COURCHENE (LEADING EARTH MAN) shares the meaning of Onjisay Aki. As the Original Peoples, we have lived here in our homeland for tens of thousands of years. Our Earth is changing, and so must we as People. Onjisay Aki means "a changing Earth" in our Anishinabe language. It's also the name of a journey we are on together. Our ancestors left a footprint, a trail founded on Indigenous values of respect, which can lead us all to have a healthy relationship with each other and the planet. Our children are depending on us to follow in those footsteps, walking this trail of peace. www.turtlelodge.org Join The Turtle Lodge on Facebook! With the help of filmmakers Ian Mauro, a founding director of the Prairie Climate Centre, and Marcel Kreutzer from the University of Winnipeg, we created a video of Dave explaining the meaning of Onjisay Aki.
