In If An Owl Calls Your Name, Frederick Johnson—Cultural Lead of the Esk’etemc Nation, artist, counselor, fluent Secwepemctsin speaker, and residential school survivor—offers a truth that cuts through centuries of distortion. He speaks to the bitter irony of colonization: how those who arrived claiming to “civilize” Indigenous peoples brought not enlightenment, but devastation. How the ones insisting on order and morality enacted the very violence, erasure, and chaos they projected onto the people whose land they stole. Frederick’s voice comes from lived experience— from ceremony, from language, from survival, from a lifetime centered on healing, sobriety, cultural revival, and ending violence against women and children. His words remind us that what was called “civilization” was often the exact opposite—and that true humanity lives in relationship, reverence, and responsibility. 🦉 Join us for the Global Film Premiere of If An Owl Calls Your Name 5-Day Online Gathering with Indigenous Elders, Healers & Activists 🗓️ December 9–13, 2025 🎥 Join by donation—including $0—via the link in bio and TheEternalSong.org/owl Step into the stories, ceremony, and lived wisdom that continue to guide the healing of nations and lineages. #IfAnOwlCallsYourName #WisdomOfTheAncestors #IndigenousHealing #ResidentialSchoolSurvivors #TruthTelling #Decolonization #CulturalRevitalization #IntergenerationalHealing #IndigenousVoices #SANDfilms #TES #WeAreNature #FilmForChange
