Behind the Scenes: Indigenous Day 2024 in Bancroft

Every year, Indigenous Day celebrations bring communities together across the Ottawa Valley. This year, we were honoured to document the festivities in Bancroft, Hastings County — capturing the energy, the traditions, and the people who make this event so meaningful.

From sunrise ceremonies to evening performances, our cameras were there to preserve every moment. Working with Indigenous communities requires a special level of care, respect, and cultural awareness. It’s not just about pointing a camera — it’s about listening first.

Full video coming soon. Stay tuned for the complete documentary cut.
