Synopsis :
Set against the backdrop of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains, ‘Miyo-Kiyokâwin (Visiting in a Good Way)’ follows Lexie Obey, a Plains Cree-Métis woman, as she considers her connection to the land through outdoor pursuits.
As she navigates the demands of objective-driven sports like trail running, climbing, and skiing, Lexie embraces both the physical and spiritual elements of the mountains while reflecting on what it means to be an Indigenous woman living in a small mountain community far from her traditional territory.
A passionate advocate for Indigenous youth in outdoor spaces, Lexie’s story challenges the fast-paced, competitive culture of mountain sports, offering a perspective rooted in respect, reciprocity, and ancestral teachings.
