Bones of Crows is a multi-generational epic and story of resilience told through the eyes of Cree Matriarch Aline Spears (played throughout her life by Summer Testawich; Grace Dove, Monkey Beach; and Carla Rae, Rutherford Falls).
In the face of a rapidly shifting and hostile world, Aline's remarkable journey moves through memories of residential school, perilous adventures across snowy traplines, and classified London bureaus, where she works as a code talker in the Second World War. Supported by her daughter Taylor, a determined lawyer, and granddaughter Percy, the family's creative force, Aline must find the strength to step into her role as family Matriarch and confront the scars of the past.
A sweeping drama grounded in historical truth, Bones of Crows weaves together underrepresented moments in Canadian and Indigenous history, including the Indigenous contributions to WW2, the ongoing cases of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
Aline's story enriches our understanding of the past and empowers us to address our collective future.
Note: Cree & Tla'amin languages. Bones of Crows is the first Indigenous and female-led produced, written, and directed drama about the residential school experience in North America. Bones of Crows was committed to adhering to the Indigenous Protocols as set out by the Indigenous Screen Office and ImagIneNATIVE
