The Girls of St. Mary's

This documentary, narrated by Maliseet elder Maggie Paul, provides a rare glimpse into the lives of three Maliseet teenagers on St. Mary's First Nation, one of the few urban reserves in Canada. Although St. Mary's First Nation is economically strong, even there, racism and intolerance take their toll. The girls share their thoughts as they struggle with dating, complicated family relationships and the reality of growing up as aboriginal females in Canada.
