This has been an eventful season for LandInsights, as the Tremblay administration made the unfortunate decision to authorize moving the Francofolies de Montréal dates to June, without heeding the many warnings from the Montreal cultural community against such a shift. The Francofolies de Montréal is now scheduled to take place in the same neighbourhood and on the same days as the First Peoples' Festival's traditional slot. LandInsights, not having the benefit of the same financial backing as its competitor (the Spectra Group, generously funded by Hydro-Québec and different levels of government), fears that such a mega-event storming on the scene would have the impact of a veritable tsunami on the underfunded Aboriginal festival. For the First Peoples' Festival, about to celebrate its 20th anniversary, 2010 will be the year of living dangerously. To be continued…
The Abénaki féminin art show has continued on its successful run as it travels among Maisons de la culture on the island of Montreal, thanks to the Conseil des arts de Montréal tour program. In the same vein, the films Club Native and Waban-aki: People from Where the Sun Rises, will make the rounds of several Maisons de la culture.
The Cosmogonies of the First Nations exhibit, which we have had the opportunity to view throughout the summer at the Grande Bibliothèque, will take its leave on November 15th.
Land InSights thanks the Conseil des arts de Montréal, Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec as well as all the cultural programmers who enable Amerindian culture to shine its light on our city.
In Marseille and the entire Bouches-du-Rhône region, alongside a number of partners including LandInsights, the Apatapela Association is presenting a series of films with the title Ahya-Yala, Rencontres du cinéma amérindien. Several guests will be on hand there for this event, including Kevin Papatie, Wapikoni Mobile's star filmmaker, Mapuche filmmaker Jeannette Paillan and André Dudemaine, director of cultural activities at LandInsights and programmer of the Montréal First Peoples' Festival.

An invitation to a voyage on the nativelynx.qc.ca site in order to discover painters, filmmakers, printmakers, sculptors, authors and musicians and samples of their creative work: you are convened to delve into this proliferating testimony to the creative élan animating First Peoples. LandInsights thanks the Department of Canadian Heritage, which has made a great contribution through its Canadian Culture Online program, in making this wealth of documents available to web surfers throughout the world.
