“Kanakiyost” tells the story of local artist Lynn Taylor (Oneida name, Kanakiyost). As an urban Indigenous person and the child of a residential school survivor, Lynn felt isolated from her community. She turns those feelings into finding like-minded people. Together with co-founders Barry Gilbert and Kandy Kennedy, she forms Eagle Spirits of the Great Waters to bring Indigenous knowledge and culture to the city of Mississauga.

The film features the art of Lynn Taylor, Tawny Mestecanean, Skinny Davis, and Norval Morrisseau, and the music of Dwayne LaForme’s Boogie Blues, and eaoh Argos, with a film score composed by singer-songwriter Arlene Paculan.
