Kamala Todd is a Métis-Cree community planner, educator, curator, and filmmaker. Her film credits include Indigenous Plant DivaCedar and BambooRELAW: Living Indigenous Laws, and Sharing our Stories: the Vancouver Dialogues Project. She writes and directs for children’s television, including the Indigenous science series Coyote's Crazy Smart Science Show and the Cree-language series Tansi! Nehiyawetan, both on APTN. She created a video series about Indigenous law for UVic’s Indigenous Law Research Unit, and Welcome to Our Homelands for Immigrant Services Society of BC. The latter extends a welcoming message to newcomers to Canada, as well as a glimpse into Indigenous history in Canada that serves as a jumping off point for further learning. In short, Kamala’s work not only elevates and amplifies Indigenous stories, but empowers others to find and use their voices. In this compelling conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Kamala speaks to the ways in which her work aims to dismantle white supremacy through the sharing of stories that, ultimately, bring people together.
