Story Circle: Indigenous Tales Through Film & Storytelling

  • Somerville Museum One Westwood Road Somerville, MA 02143 (map)

Story Circle: Indigenous Tales Through Film & Storytelling is a powerful and engaging program that brings Indigenous stories to life through film and spoken word. Designed for students in grades K–8, this program introduces young audiences to the rich cultural traditions, histories, and contemporary voices of Indigenous communities across North America.

Anna‑Celestrya Carr is a Red River Métis multidisciplinary artist, filmmaker, writer, dancer, and speaker originally from Manitoba, now based in Massachusetts.

Anna-Celestrya has crafted meaningful short films such as Dreamcatcher
(2011)—a dramatic fantasy rooted in Indigenous mythology—and
Tik-A-Lee-Kick (2012), which offers a candid, introspective look
through the eyes of a young Indigenous woman encountering "Little
People". Her more recent visual project, Wiigiwaam, follows an
Indigenous artist and their family as they build a wigwam from
non-traditional materials; it has been showcased at the Boston
International Film Festival and named a finalist at the Wales
International Film Festival, as well as at the Somerville Museum.
With a decade of cultural arts experience, Anna‑Celestrya now serves
as the Historic Events Manager at the Somerville Museum, bringing her
talents in storytelling, media, and public engagement to the local
community.
