<font size="4">Filmmaker and writer Julian Brave NoiseCat is the son of an Indigenous Canadian father and white mother. After a cultural genocide, he says, living your life becomes an existential question. "To live a life in an Indigenous way is a kind of profound thing, and it has been really beautiful to get to make art and tell stories from that position." NoiseCat spoke with Terry Gross about his father's origin story, dancing at powwows, and the bonds of kinship. His new memoir, <em>We Survived the Night</em>, takes its name from a translation </font><font size="4">of the Secwépemc morning greeting. His Oscar-nominated documentary <em>Sugarcane</em> is on Hulu/Disney+.<br/><br/>Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews Daphne Du Maurier's collection of short stories, <em>After Midnight</em>. <br/><br/></font><div class="gmail_default">Follow <em>Fresh Air </em>on instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nprfreshair/"target="_blank"   >@nprfreshair</a>, and subscribe to our <a href="http://whyy.org/freshair"target="_blank"   >weekly newsletter</a> for gems from the <em>Fresh Air</em> archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. <div class="gmail_default"><div class="gmail_default"></div></div></div><br/><br/>Learn more about sponsor message choices: <a href="https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices">podcastchoices.com/adchoices</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179878450/privacy-policy">NPR Privacy Policy</a>
