Synopsis
In Toronto, home to Canada's largest urban Indigenous population of approximately 65,000, Indigenous peoples are shaping a distinct urban culture. This cultural evolution includes the integration of traditional practices, particularly the role of Elders-individuals recognized for their wisdom who provide guidance, resolve conflicts, and model acceptable behavior. Directed by Robert S. Adams, "Urban Elder" explores how these urban Indigenous communities blend their heritage with city life, reflecting a dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity.
