Artist’s vision sparks new old way of life

Bossy Ducharme from Duck Bay, Man. had a vision, and from that vision he made a change that few would consider an easy one.

For one year he will only eat pre-European-contact foods indigenous to North America before colonization brought non-native plants and food sources to this county.

Why is he doing this? He says what began as a year-long documentary film project turned into a spiritual journey.
“The catalyst to this documentary was the startling statistics of high diabetes rates, over representation in the prison system and higher teen suicide rates in Aboriginal youth,” said Ducharme.
