təm kʷaθ nan (Namesake) follows an ongoing conversation between Tla’amin Nation and the city commonly known as Powell River about a name that honours Israel Wood Powell, whose policies harmed Tla’amin people and culture. As the Nation asks the city to consider a new name, the community responds with reflection, resistance, allyship, and difficult conversations about history, identity, and belonging. Elders share naming traditions rooted in responsibility to place, while the film situates this moment within over 12,000 years of continuous presence. The outcome remains uncertain, but through the rhythm of the seasons, the film shows how change happens over time—through listening, disagreement, and the willingness to move forward together.
Film is in English & ʔayʔajuθəm.
