Isaiah Harris has always wanted to uplift Indigenous stories — a passion rooted in responsibility, respect and love for his community
Isaiah Harris has always been fascinated by Indigenous stories. Some are the backbone of how communities came to be. Others shed light on the significance of local landmarks and places in nature. He dreamed of a career telling stories, and now, he’s living it.
Isaiah points to a spit of land that juts out from the bay, where he and his siblings used to play growing up. He tells a story from his childhood of when a large storm broke apart the nearby wooden dock, causing its pieces to spread throughout the bay. Around this same time, he became involved in the Land and Language program at Ladysmith Secondary School, which helped fuel his interest in storytelling, specifically involving important figures in Indigenous history who lived during the past 200 years. With encouragement from his teachers, he started to write about them.
“It’s doing really well, we’re really happy with the reaction that we’ve received from everyone to it,” said Bland of the documentary. The heist feature film will focus around the character of an Indigenous archeologist who is going through a difficult time, and teams up with a group of misfits from the rez to break into a museum and reclaim sacred artifacts that rightfully belong to their people.
