Mekwâc — Now Is Good
Mekwâc is a fully immersive, multi-sensory projection experience grounded in a Cree worldview. It invites audiences into a living, cyclical story — one that bridges cultures, connects generations, and reframes how we experience Indigenous knowledge in the modern world.
Through powerful imagery, sound, and interactivity, Mekwâc guides participants through the Four Directions and the Four Stages of Life — infancy, youth, adulthood, and eldership — while being led by the beings of the Seven Grandfather Teachings: Beaver (Wisdom), Sabé (Honesty), Buffalo (Respect), Eagle (Love), Wolf (Humility), Bear (Bravery), and Turtle (Truth).
This journey illuminates the deep relationships that bind us to water, land, animals, and each other.
An Indigenous Immersive Experience
An Indigenous futurist experience, Mekwâc transforms traditional teachings into a living environment of light, sound, and interconnection.
Mekwâc reimagines traditional teachings through immersive storytelling and cutting-edge technology. By weaving together projection mapping, sensor-based interactivity, and spatialized sound, participants are invited not just to view a story — but to step inside it.
This is Indigenous futurism in practice — where ancient teachings meet innovative design to reveal a living, evolving worldview.
Mekwâc is a reminder that Indigenous knowledge is not only of the past — it is a map for the future.
