Protect Our Future Daughters is a short docu-drama about the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) of Canada.  Narrator Maryanne Junta is a young L’nu artist and activist who shares the name of an indigenous woman who went missing in Boston, MA in 1982. She describes Jaime Black’s REDress project, an art installation exhibited at Nipissing University and across North America. Through poetic imagery and visual rhetoric, Maryanne presents information that helps viewers understand the extent of this crisis and hold space in memory for the MMIW of Eskasoni Mi’kmaw Nation, NS, other parts of Canada, and globally.
