Reconciliation and Legacy: A Writer's Journey
Julian Brave NoiseCat's documentary, a reflection on family and the legacy of Indian residential schools, has been nominated for an Academy Award.
NoiseCat, a filmmaker and writer, reconciled with his father, artist Ed Archie NoiseCat, in Bremerton. Ed had abandoned Julian at the age of 6, and Julian was raised by his mother in California.
The outcome of this reconciliation is the documentary "Sugarcane," co-directed with Emily Kassie, and his first book, "We Survived the Night." The film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars in 2025, making NoiseCat the first Indigenous North American filmmaker to receive an Academy Award nomination.
The documentary and book investigate abuse and death at an Indian residential school in Canada that Ed attended.
NoiseCat worked on both projects in Bremerton, where he has lived with Ed for the past four years.
Author's summary: Julian Brave NoiseCat's work nominated for Oscar.
