The South Wind

In 1938, having left her Arctic home with her mother Kumaa’naaq, young Marguerite must negotiate the unspoken pressures of a new life in the South. When an extraordinary letter arrives from home, Marguerite discovers what’s really expected of her. Based on a true story. The narrative reveals a type of benevolent racism that at once aims to erase Indigeneity and all its markers while purporting that it’s “for their own good”.
