Ken interviews Loree Boyd, an accomplished Cree/Blackfoot Métis author, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and former executive director of the Indigenous Studies Foundation.
She works closely in television, film, and media, previously serving as an on-air interviewer for the Indian News Network. Her film catalog includes titles like Banished, The Eagle and Raven Clan, and Warrior's Song (which covers Native American healing approaches to PTSD).
Her prominent book, Spirit Moves: The Story of Six Generations of Native Women, was published in 1996 by New World Library. It is an autobiographical memoir tracking six generations of Native women in her family, from the late 19th century to the modern era.
The generational narrative primarily unfolds across Alberta, Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. [The chronicle details the intense struggles of genocide, systemic prejudice, physical abuse, and the intentional erosion of Native American culture.
The book focuses heavily on the resilience of figures like her great-grandmother Margaret, her grandmother Anne, and her mother Silversong.]
During her historical research, Boyd discovered that her mother and grandmother had kept intense family secrets and sworn literal vows of silence purely to protect her from past traumas.
