Chief Dan George, an elderly Indigenous man with long, flowing silver hair and a calm, thoughtful expression, stands outdoors against a backdrop of dense evergreen forest. He wears a dark button-up shirt, a patterned tie in red and black, and a beaded necklace. In his right hand, he holds a tall, intricately carved black wooden staff depicting a stylized raven or bird figure with outstretched wings and a prominent beak.

Chief Dan George led an amazing life.
A gifted poet. An activist for his people. A movie star.
Remembered as the first Indigenous person to receive an Academy Award nomination, he was so much more than that.
This is his story.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Unless you have been to New Brunswick or Nova Scotia lately (I visited both provinces last week), please don’t comment on the measures they’re taking to prevent forest fires. The conditions are extreme and very dangerous.

Do not operate drones in a wildfire area. It is illegal. It can interfere with our firefighting efforts. The fine is $25,000 under the Forests Act, there could be fines under federal legislation as well.
