Material type:
FilmPublication details: [Bella Coola, BC] : Smayaykila Films, 2010Description: 1 videodisc (ca. 29 min.) : sd., col. with b&w sequences ; 4 3/4 inSubject(s): First Nations -- British Columbia -- Bella Coola | Language and culture -- British Columbia -- Bella Coola | Oral tradition -- British Columbia -- Bella CoolaSummary: "Less than fifteen Nuxalk language speakers and storytellers remain in Bella Coola, British Columbia, today. One of these elders is the director Banchi Hanuse's 80-year-old grandmother. In a technologically obsessed century, it would seem easier to record Nuxalk stories for future generations, but Hanuse resists. Instead, she asks whether an electronic recording can capture the true meaning and value of these oral traditions. More importantly, can it be considered cultural knowledge? Cry Rock examines how Nuxalk stories are more than mere words. With the passing of an elder, an invaluable link to a treasure of knowledge and experience reflecting the Nuxalk [Nuxalkmc] world view is lost. As Hanuse struggles with the decision, a spine tingling story about the Cry Rock in the bend of the Atnarko River, nestled in the Bella Coola Valley, is retold by Clyde Tallio, a young Nuxalk man."--Container.
