Synopsis
Braves Wear Braves Documentary looks at the spiritual meaning of braids and the struggles Indigenous youth face to keep this vital piece of their culture alive. Featuring NHL hockey player Ethan Bear, Tsuut’ina Elders and other Indigenous men and women, we invite you to journey with us through their personal stories of adversity, resilience and forgiveness.
“There is a tonne of ignorance about braids. The good thing is that ignorance is curable.”
