Kaskitawapisk - Black Rock of the Plains Cree Nation A Spiritual Leader of the Smallboy Camp.
Kaskitawapisk (Black Rock) was a Plains Cree Native man that had affected the many people in his long life. This documentary proudly shows the decendents of this respected elder, affectionately chronicling his influence in their lives, and how they continue to benefit from having known him.
Beginning from his childhood home in Pigeon Lake, Alberta, this story reveals, through first hand accounts of Lazarus Roan, the respected elder of the Four Nations of Hobbema. He would become the honoured cultural and spiritual leader in the creation of Smallboy Camp and the advisor to Kiskayo, Chief Robert Smallboy, one of the great leaders of the Ermineskin Nation at the time. Kiskayo also believed in the traditional ways of the Plains Cree of central Alberta in the early days of Smallboy Camp.
Each segment of these interviews reflects the deep commitment to preserving the memory, the teachings and also the love that they hold for the man called Blackrock.
