Tzouhalem
Directed by:
Harold C. Joe, Leslie D. Bland
ABOUT THE FILM
Through interviews and creative re-enactments, Tzouhalem examines the account of the life of the near-mythic figure of Cowichan Chief from both historians and First Nations Elders, the folkloric tales concerning him, his impact on the relationship between the Crown and First Nations, and how his legend remains alive, examining critically how his story has been told and passed down to us.
Â
It is generally believed that Tzouhalem, a deformed Indigenous boy, through his strength of character and mystical powers, taught to him by his Grandmother, subdued his rivals, and transformed himself into the most powerful First Nations leader in the Pacific Northwest, before succumbing to his own immorality.
