Pîtoteyihtam

In the Plains Cree language pîtoteyihtam means one who thinks differently Among various indigenous peoples difference is far from being perceived as a handicap and is rather seen as a strength from which the whole community can benefit In the era of reconciliation Indigenous peoples are reclaiming their traditional knowledge and philosophies Through intimate encounters with several people from the communities of Pessamit Innu and Manawan Atikamekw the film reveals how neurodiversity is perceived and experienced there and how we can rethink the accompaniment of these young people by reconnecting with traditional philosophies of First Nations
