The Seventh Fire

This 30-minute documentary, produced in 1995, explores a First Nations prophecy that the time of the Seventh Fire will be when the reborn First Nations will offer spiritual recovery to North Americans of European ancestry. Narrated by the late elder Vi Smith, The Seventh Fire chronicles the relationship of Indigenous Peoples and the European settlers, with many interviews from residential school survivors.

The deception lies in our relentless pursuit of treaty rights, and the false promise that we're all going to live like kings off the toil of Canadians. Our true way of being lies in duty, as enshrined in the teachings of Dtotem. We only think about rights, and we've forgotten our duty, now the Anishinabe nation is weaker than it's ever been.  When the people of nations focus on their duty, the rights take care of themselves.
