Metis film a challenge

By JANICE LAVALEE
MANIGOTAGAN, Man. (CP) — Director Norma Bailey

is facing some interesting challenges in developing a film

about Metis women’on the Prairies.
The Canadian director is working with amateur actors
in a language that neither she nor the crew can understand.
Ikwe, the first of-a four-part series, is being filmed in
Ojibwak. Bailey, who's directing the film in English, says it’s
sometimes difficult figuring out what the actors are doing.
“I. don't know whether they're saying the words
properly, I don't know whether their inflections are right,

~soas-a-director it's just difficult to know if they're doing the

right thing when they say the words. But it hasn't been a
major problem so far.”

Bailey and her 30- eiomibee crew invaded this quiet
community of the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg earlier
this month and they've already recreated authentic birch
bark wigwams, canoes and log cabins for use in the film.

FILM BIG NEWS

The sight of a film crew-in this fishing and trapping
region about 196 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg is big
news and residents have been travelling to the shooting
sites to take in the action.

But finding the chosen spots was no easy task: The
region is accessible only by a bumpy gravel road which
twists and turns its way through continuous clumps of birch
and pine trees.

Ikwe, which means woman in Ojibwa, is part of a series
called Daughters of the Country being produced by the
National Film Board of Canada.

The series, which will cost about $1 million to produce,
will be televised in four one-hour segments next year. The
Manitoba government is. contributing $200,000 to the
project and the rest of the money is coming from the ila
board.

Bailey said the idea for the film came from the Manitoba
Metis Federation, which approached the film board to do a
drama about the Metis — a people of Indian and white
ancestry.

Ikwe, written by Manitoba playwright Wendy. Lill, who
now lives in Long Creek, N.B., is set in 1760.

____. WOMAN'S STRUGGLES =

It traces the story of-an Indian woman who marries a
white man and the film documents her struggles to follow
the values of both the Metis and the white man.

Ikwe is played by Hazel King of the Christian Islands
reserve in. Ontario, while her husband, Angus, is played by
Toronto actor Geraint Wyn Davies.

Bailey said most of the actors in the 65-member cast —
only eight of them are white — hail from the nearby Hollow
Water Indian reserve.

One woman, a Cree Indian, had to learn Ojibwa for her
part.

“I went to all the Ojibwa reserves in Manitoba and some
in Ontario to find the actors,” Bailey said as crew members
loaded-heavy equipment on the trucks near the site.

“They're all incredible, they just look wonderful on
camera and their acting is incredible . . . We're just having a
great time with them.”

The crews are filming six days a week and some scenes
have been shot at three o'clock in the morning to produce the
desired effect.

WILL BE DIFFERENT

Lill, who has written radio documentaries about Indians
and spent four months researching for the film, said
although there have been countless stories written about the
Metis, this one will be different largely because it is a drama.

“I think it will somehow give new dimensions to it
(Metis history),” she said in an interview. “The hope is that
people will see these episodes and learn new things.

“I certainly learned new things just by writing it, going
through the process of knocking away my own stereotypes
she added.

“I think people are able to accept information through
drama, I think people will listen to this story and maybe see
it in a new light.”

Great. pains also have been taken to make the film
authentic.

Bailey said the production crew had to import birch
bark from Ontario, borrow century-old canoes from an
Ontario museum and wait for deer to be killed on the
highway before they-could skin them for costumes.

A Winnipeg exterminator also has'supplied a number of
rats for use in one of the scenes.

“There's a law in Ontario that you can't cut birch bark
until a certain point in June and it happens to be the June
moon,” she said.

“All of the costumes are authentic, the way they're
designed, the women's clothing, the men’s clothing, the
actual way they used to wear their hides, the tools they use,
the food they eat, everything is the way it would have been.”

She said that because the inexperienced cast doesn't
approach work in the same way professional actors would,
she’s had to make a few adjustments in shooting.

“They won't be able to find marks the way a pro.
fessional.actor can,” she said: “They won't be able to do
things exactly the Same. i

“If you've got a master shot and they pick their hatchet
up and.put it here on a certain line they don’t do that again
the next.

“So you just design the shooting around those limi-

tations.”

The second part of the series, called Madelaine, was
written by Vancouver writer Ann Cameron.

The film, to be made in Saskatchewan next spring, is set
form 1860 to 1885 and deals with the settlement of the Red
River colony when Metis women, accustomed to. the
attention of the settlement’s men, were shunted aside in
favor of the white women from England.

The third part, called Little Women, takes place in the
1930s and focuses on what were called road allowance

LOFGREN |
ENJOYING
NEW SUCCESS

NEW YORK (AP) — The image—of musician Nil
Lofgren is unmistakably rock ‘n’ roll — from the frazzled hai
and waist-length black vest to the bandana dangling from hi
néck.

His prized “jewel.” though, is a button he wears “onl:
on special occasions.” It has a picture of the late Jim
Hendrix, the guitarist who defined rock riffs for a generatior
of musicians.

Long considered Ae rock world’s odd-man-out becaus«
he could never be ry musical niche, Lofgren has been

favorite of critics and jomething of a cult idol with suck
tunes as The Sun Set on This Boy Yet, and White
Lies. However, during his 17-year career, he never reachec
commercial success!

But that's beginning to change since he joined Bruce
Springsteen's E Street Band last summer, replacing
guitarist: Steven Van Zandt.

“['ve never had a Top 40 hit,” he said in an interview. “I
don't like the word superstar, but I would like to sell more
records. Reaching people is important.”

Besides becoming the newest member of one of rock
history's most successful road shows — Springsteen's Born
in the U.S.A. 92-stop tour — Lofgren has revamped his solo
act and released his 12th album, Flip. It’s his debut LP on
the Columbia label.

BEST ALBUM

“This new album,” he said, “is the best thing I've ever
done. Though the album is technically correct, I've taken a
live approach. We put it together in six weeks. But the
biggest difference is the use of the OBS (synthesizer).”

‘The OBS is the latest-state-of-the-art synthesizer in the
music industry. The use of it by the 34-year-old Lofgren
marks a major change for a rocker. who once proclaimed tha‘
his music had no room for anything artificial_——

Part three, written by Winnipeg writer Sandra Birdsell,
will be filmed outside Winnipeg in September.

Part four, called The Wake, is set in 1985 and focusses
on the contemporary Metis woman. The script for the part,
to be filmed in Alberta next winter, was written by Sharon
Riis, of Lac La Biche, Alta.

Lofgren said. Indeed, the OB8 would have been out of place
amid the wild, frenetic rhythms he used in his earlier days.

Lofgren, who produces better material when perform-
ing live than in the studio, hopes the “live” approach of Flip
will propel it onto the charts. Though superstardom has
eluded him, few rock performers have exhibited the staying
power that Lofgren has.

Lofgren grew up in the affluent Washington suburb of
Bethesda, Md. His musical background stenimed from his
early classical study of the accordian and piano.

‘Though classical overtones still echo in his music today,
Lofgren’s biggest influence was Hendrix.

““I saw Jimi Hendrix perform as a boy.” he realled. “It
was then that I committed my life to being a musician.
Successful or not, it's my purpose in life.” ”

FORMS BAND

While attending Bethesda-Chevy Chase high school,
Lofgren formed his own rock group called Grin. They were a
hit on the local nightclub circuit for many years, but never

Lofgren went on to do solo work in Washington's under-
ground club circuit.

It was around that time that Lofgren cornered_and
serenaded Neil Young in the dressing room of the Cellar
Door, a Washington club.

“We spent the next three days together,” Lofgren said.’
Young was so impressed that he had Lofgren tour and
record with him. He also gave the youngster access to
producer David Briggs.

When he went solo, Lofgren beefed’ up his ‘touring
schedule and released three-albums that critics say defined
him musically. Twelve albums and four record ‘companies
later, that sound persists.

For Lofgren, sport also has a role.

“Though I'm not very good at it I enjoy playing basket-
ball and working up a sweat. You don't have to think, just
react. It’s really animal. I get the same sensation being on
stage.”

The two dialects North Americans may be most

which were immortalized by Miss Doolittle in My Fair
Lady before she met Higgins — and the upper-class
accent known as received, pronunciation, whic is taught in

schools.

“You can tell people who have learned received

‘They come. down extra hard on their t's and h's.
‘That's a clue they weren't born to it.”
The dialectical differences show how the English
language was formed through conquest, he said.

Families have problems
coping with mentally ill

MONTREAL (CP) — Little
is said about the agony of the
mothers, fathers, brothers
and sisters of tormented in-
dividuals. Yet coping with
mental ‘illness sometimes
sends even the family to the
psychiatrist.

At 23, Annie, who's had a
personality disorder since
birth, tried suicide three
times. She was finally treat-

an apartment two. blocks
away, but that wasn't the end
of it. Eleven years later, An-
nie is no better.

“We're on call 24 hours a
day. She'll phone to tell me
that someone looked at her
on the bus and she knows he
was a bad person. All I can
say is the families of those in
hospital are fortunate.”

Annie is only one of 30,000

‘ed in hospital for

depression and three months
later the doctors sent her
home.

“It was a nightmare,” An-
nie’s mother recalls. “We
were walking on eggs all the
time.

“The slightest thing would

send her off into a vicious

tirade. She was obsessive,

acutely paranoid and deeply

resentful of her brother. He

finally couldn't stand it any
eft home.”

Annie's parents found her

means for their families.
“It's a living death,” says
the mother-of a 25-year-old
schizophrenic daughter, who
like most relatives inter-
viewed asked for anonymity.

“At 13, our daughter Jes-"

sica became very violent. My
husband and I were sure she
was psychotic and we began
taking her to psychiatrists.

They all said it was a phase
she would grow out of.”

But she didn’t, and her sis-
ter remembers that Jessica
would fly into a rage at the
drop of a hat and threaten to
kill-her: “We lived in a state
of siege. I hated my sister
throughout my childhood and
I wished she would die.”

CAUSES GUILT

That, of course, leads to
guilt for having such feelings.
Many siblings react to their
feelings with guilt, as Isa-

student knows, because she

brother suffers from schizo-
