Le Wapikoni mobile : conquête d'un nouveau territoire de citoyenneté pour de jeunes autochtones.

The Wapikoni mobile is an indigenous video training project that addresses the First Nations communities of Quebec. Through this project, which offers workshops to people between the ages of 15 and 30, certain young people are taught to produce and direct films. In addition, some are invited to show their creations in public events and venues in Québec and abroad. Since 2004, the Wapikoni mobile has reached 2000 participants, produced 500 videos and has won over fifty prizes. Through the concept of citizenship, this article seeks to examine the spaces of dialogue opened for and by indigenous youth of Québec through the Wapikoni mobile. Based on non-participant observation and in-depth interviews with Wapikoni mobile participants, the paper seeks to understand how the process of giving voice - in multiple venues and at multiple scales - may alter their experience of citizenship. While the process they participate in is full of contradictions, these indigenous youth are redrawing the territories of citizenship in contemporary Québec and beyond. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
