ABOUT THE FILM
All Our Father’s Relations is a documentary produced by UBC Arts professors and graduates explores the little known relationship between the Musqueam Nation and early Chinese migrants in British Columbia.
In 2013, UBC Film adjunct professor Alejandro Yoshizawa and alumna Sarah Ling travelled to China to document an intercontinental family reunion.
Four elderly siblings born in Vancouver to a Musqueam mother and Chinese father were in Guangdong, China to meet their father’s side of the family and visit the ancestral home he left behind in 1920. One of these siblings was Elder Larry Grant, Adjunct Professor in the First Nations and Endangered Languages Program at UBC and Elder-in-Residence at the First Nations House of Learning.
About CINCH
The goal of Celebrating INdigenous Culture and History (CINCH) is to build community and cultivate our knowledge of Indigenous culture and history on Turtle Island through film, theatre, dance and literature.
UBC’s Point Grey Campus is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. The land it is situated on has been a place of intergenerational learning for the Musqueam people from time immemorial.
