As I Am is an experimental short documentary that challenges stereotypes about Indigenous people in the workplace. The film features portraits of Indigenous people on the job – in occupations ranging from snowplow operator to police officer, to art curator to manager – and is set to a powerful poem by Mohawk writer Janet Marie Rogers. It urges viewers to go beyond their preconceived notions.
The result is a celebration Indigenous pride in work and culture, and a call to respect the unique contributions of each individual.
