AKI (Anishinaabemowin for “earth” or “land”) is a meditative, visually immersive documentary set in Atikameksheng Anishnawbek in Northern Ontario, Canada. Filmed over seasonal years, this unscripted project unfolds entirely without narration or dialogue, instead relying on the aural textures of wind, water, animal and human life, and ceremony to tell the story of a people fully rooted in their land
“Aki almost feels like a declaration from Naponse: Mother Nature will prevail, regardless of how hard we try to take her for all she’s got.”-POV Magazine
