The Turtle Lodge has partnered with Manitoba 150 and IG Wealth Management to present a series of short animated films on the Seven Sacred Laws, to be released in English, French, and Anishinaabe. Written by Anishinaabe Elder, Dr. David Courchene (Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Leading Earth Man)) and Cree Director Erica Marie Daniels, the vignettes follow an Indigenous boy on his vision quest, growing, thriving, and gaining wisdom. On his spiritual journey, he meets seven sacred animals who teach him how we as people should live our lives on Mother Earth. Created by Manitoba’s Peg City Pictures Inc., the short animated films tell the stories of Indigenous Peoples in their own voices, in a format that is accessible not only for Indigenous people, but for all Peoples.

While a reporter at The Washington Post, Barton Gellman was one of three journalists Edward Snowden picked to review the vast and explosive archive of highly classified files revealing the extent of the American government's access to our every communication. Those three shared the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for their work. But that was only the beginning for Gellman. He went on to dig deeper into both the U.S. surveillance state and Snowden’s own complicated history. As he sought the truth, Barton was harassed with legal threats, government investigations and foreign intelligence agencies intent on stealing his files. Come for a detailed look at Edward Snowden, America's surveillance state now and post-COVID, as well as Mr. Gellman’s own account of his personal cloak-and-dagger experience of being surveilled by unknown adversaries.
