Back to Indigenous Arts Program 2025

Forget Me Not

Forget Me Not follows a person’s journey through years of generational trauma caused by residential schools, the history of racial violence against Indigenous communities and their people, addiction and loss. This story shows a complex ray of emotions throughout different life experiences and how we carry that with us. This is not a story of defeat but of resilience and the ability to put ourselves back together.
