| In 1980, Denis
Boivin, then very young director, shot in the Huron Village a documentary remained
unpublished. Twenty years later, he meets the same proud Hurons who are now called
"Wendats". What did it thus happen in their search of individual and collective
identity? The History and Politics
and language explore the feeling of belong and its ambiguity as well as the
original democracy of this First Nation touched by the loss of its ancestral language and
the strength of the interbreeding. In The Expansion, we also discover an
expanding prosperous nation in spite of its mishandled roots. The economy is prosperous
there, the Huron culture integrated into the programs of education, the crafts attract
numerous tourists and, since August 2000, an electoral system inspired by the tradition
has been implanted.
