It has been a challenging and fun experience for Cowboy and I discussing genocide, colonization, and other topics late into the night. Now, after eleven days of shooting in the field from Writing-on-Stone to the place where Treaty 7 was signed, our journey has only just begun. We still want to visit past residential schools and the Canadian Human Rights Museum. We have archival footage to source and lots of material to edit.

In order to finish the film, I turning to the you to finish raising the completion funds. I had intentionally set out to do crowdsourcing because it’s important that this story find an audience and I’d like to know if there is an audience. If this project catches your imagination (and I hope it does), then consider these two simple steps:

1. Donate to Elder in the Making’s Indiegogo campaign. You can meet the crew, see some of our footage, learn about our plans, and checkout some of our perks. Visit the campaign page here.

2. Share this campaign with your network. Your referral or introduction by email, phone, or social media would be greatly appreciated. But this is the link to direct people to: http://igg.me/at/elderinthemaking

Remember anything you can contribute no matter how small helps. I can’t wait to show you our Treaty 7 roadtrip story and hope that you can be a part of its success.

All the best,
Chris
