Netukulimk will explore the foundational belief of “everything is connected” and how the Mi’kmaq/ L’nu continue to live and adapt with their environments. Directors Catherine Martin and Amber Bernard follow the lives of Mi’kmaq who are asserting their treaty rights in their own ways. It explores the struggle of lobster fishermen, Craig Doucette and Kelsey Boyce who are asserting their rights on the water and trying to make a living for their families. Weaving in elders Joe and Judy Googoo as they live through the Mi’kmaq worldview of Netukulimk. As we follow our characters, we see just how complex and yet similar each of their concerns are. All have a deep concern for conservation yet have their own strong opinions on how the Mi’kmaq should continue their fight to preserve culture, environment, and rights.
