Since its premiere at Toronto's Festival of Festivals, Lac La Croix has been playing to enthusiastic Native audiences. Native people, young and old, speak about land issues, the environment, and the culture and history of the Lac La Croix Ojibway peoples of northwestern Ontario. The film examines issues such as the community ban on liquor, the fight against welfare dependancy, and the effects of the media on young people. Lac La Croix was made with the full cooperation of the Lac La Croix community. In the film many speak about their lives and their current political struggles. This is a film about Native community fighting successfully for survival, blending the old and the new.
