It was given to us by our Creator, our way of doing things. Of who we are. The potlatch was given to us as a way of expressing joy. Everyone on Earth was given something. This was given to us.” Barb Cranmer (1960–2019) was a visionary ‘Na̱mg̱is filmmaker and one of the most authoritative Indigenous storytellers of her generation.
