'''Sara Roque''' (d. 7 June 2023) is a [[Métis|Métis/Ojibwe]] filmmaker and activist. She was a mixed-heritage [[Anishinaabe|Anishinaabekwe]] woman from the community of [[Killarney, Ontario|Shebahonaning]] (known as Killarney, Ontario) and lived in Toronto. She co-founded O'Kaadenigan Weengashk, an indigenous women's art collective, in 2004.
== Career ==
As Indigenous Arts Officer at the [[Ontario Arts Council]], Roque worked for ten years mentoring artists and advocating across the province, building innovative programs, policies and protocols with Indigenous peoples.
Roque was a member of the Indigenous Education Council at [[OCAD University]] and a founding member of O’Kaadenigan Wiingashk<ref>{{Cite web |title=O' Kaadenigan Wiingashk: About Us |url=https://publicenergy.ca/old_site/OKW_website/about_us.htm |access-date=2024-04-30 |website=publicenergy.ca}}</ref>, an Indigenous women’s arts collective (Peterborough) and The Good Medicine Collective (Toronto).
In 2010 Roque directed ''Six Miles Deep'' - a groundbreaking film about the work of female community leaders during the 2006 Caledonia blockade. The film details the communities' struggle to resist real-estate development on land formally granted to them under the 1784 Haldimand Proclamation.
The “Seeds of Change” collection, co-curated by Roque and Nêhiyaw artist and curator Elwood Jimmy, became "an important addition to Indigenous Health education at WCH", showcasing "the power of Indigenous art to not only create a more welcoming space for Indigenous patients, health care providers and students but to assert Indigenous world views on medicine and healing in the Western health care system."
The hospital’s Centre for Wise Practices in Indigenous Health Temerty Medicine opened the Gathering Space, a dedicated area for Indigenous students, staff, faculty and community members to safely access traditional medicines and exercise their ceremonial practice rights.
"Medical knowledge and medical spaces are all centred in the head,” Sara says. “Indigenous art speaks from and to our hearts. It reminds us that health is about our whole selves. Bringing that art into medical education and patient care spaces will maybe bring a little heart into health care.”
== Six Miles Deep ==
The [[Haldimand Proclamation]] was negotiated by Joseph Brant on behalf of the Six Nations in 1784, in gratitude for native support of Britain against the American revolutionaries. It promised the lands “six miles deep from each side of the river beginning at Lake Erie and extending in that proportion to the head of the said river which them and their posterity are to enjoy forever.” For further information Haudenosaunee Confederacy Chiefs Council (HCCC)
The Caledonia Blockade in 2006 also known as the [[Grand River land dispute]] made national and international headlines for its peaceful and persistent refusal. There are 28 land claims by Six Nations still outstanding.
Sara Roque worked with women leaders of Six Nations to film Six Miles Deep, a documentary detailing their collective resistance to the attempted land dispossession.
