We Were Children

For over 130 years till 1996, more than 100,000 of Canada's First Nations children were legally required to attend government-funded schools run by various Christian faiths. There were 80 of these 'residential schools' across the country. Most children were sent to faraway schools that separated them from their families and traditional land. These children endured brutality, physical hardship, mental degradation, and the complete erasure of their culture. The schools were part of a wider program of assimilation designed to integrate the native population into 'Canadian society.' These schools were established with the express purpose 'To kill the Indian in the child.' Told through their own voices, 'We Were Children' is the shocking true story of two such children: Glen Anaquod and Lyna Hart.

FAREWELL

To index my position in popular culture, existing in scenes of Taiwanese indie youth and migrating to New York and we all exist under the umbrella of confederacy/ white supremacy/ Eurocentricism/ and patriarchy. FAREWELL asks questions about internet labor and surveillance, comments on Eastern and Western cultures and local communities, what it means to self-document through motion images, and the urge to archive (Hal Foster wrote about the archive impulse.) It is another video that will ultimately end up in the vast sea of YouTube shorts but it is a way to pass down a momentary legacy.
