Description: Monica a young woman studying art history in Montreal has lost touch with her Innu roots. When an exhibition unexpectedly articulates a deep intergenerational wound she begins to search for a stronger connection to her Indigeneity. A friendship with Katherine an Indigenous woman whose life is filled with culture and community underscores for Monica the possibilities of turning from assimilation and toxic masculinity to something much deeper and more universal than she expects. Travelling from Eastern Canada to Vancouver to Mexico City Monica connects with other Indigenous artists and thinkers learning about the power of traditional ways and the struggles of other Nations. Throughout these journeys physical and creative she is guided by visions of giant birds and ancestors who draw her back home to Pessamit. Reckonings with family and floods await but amidst strange tides she reconnects to her language Innu - aimun and her people. A timely and riveting story of reclamation matriarchies and the healing ability of traditional teachings Nauetakuan: a Silence for a Sound underscores how reconnecting to lineage and community can transform Indigenous futures.
