The CBC recently produced a four-part documentary entitled 8th Fire that is intended to help the dominant white culture understand some of the basic tenets of aboriginal culture and why there is so much conflict, and how we might begin to go about restoring relationships in a positive way.  The title refers to an Anishinabe prophesy of a time of peace and prosperity for all people where the destruction of the past will be healed if the white culture chooses a path of respect and spirituality.  Anishinabe host, Wab Kinew, promises no guilt trips, and maybe even a few surprises in this informative and current series.

Here is a learning guide with to accompany the documentary.
