The last Mi'kmaq reservation film I watched was the fairly good, 'BLOOD QUANTUM', which also starred A. D. Jacobs. I never got to see this when it was released and looked forward to watching it. I was half way through it by which time I was absolutely bored stiff.
The main bad points of this drab-fest were the overuse of foul mouthed language (which I am sick to death of in modern day films), the atrocious lackluster deliverance of any decent acting skills and, a collective mishmash of internal stories that have no information background that links them all together. It has most of the main cast just meandering through the film either wasted on Marijuana or drunk as skunks, thus leaving no thread of a build up to a supposed revenge finale' or even payback.
It lacks anything of tense interest and feels very much like its a film students amateur offering as a first year test piece.
I have always had a huge interest in the history and stories of the Indian tribal nations and, have always enjoyed all that I have been able to watch/see. Alas however this just bored me and is the first negative Indian natives/nations film that I have spoken badly about!
