D.I.Y

Adam, a Stoney skateboarder who’s from the prairies, has been living on the unceded Coast Salish territories for some time now and feels a longing of home. To get out of his head, he goes to the skatepark. Joe, a Cree man also living on the coast, happens to come upon the skatepark that Adam is at. Before they interact, Adam has a moment of casting judgement to the seemingly threatening Joe. But Adam looks passed that and once they interact, Joe seems to know a little more of Stoney culture than Adam. Joe then shares a traditional song in Stoney from a famous pow-wow group using a stick found on the ground and hitting it on a cement barrier. Spiralling Adam into the nostalgia he wouldn’t expect in a place like this, he’s glad he didn’t cast judgement. Joe leaves and Adam is inspired.
