Abstract
This chapter examines Danis Goulet's (Cree/Métis) feature Night Raiders (2021), which is a fictional exploration of colonial repression and Indigenous resistance. It illustrates how the film engages with notions of Indigenous temporalities (that work to connect past-present-future as spiraling and non-linear). In describing a sense of "Indigenous cinema times," the chapter argues for the unique ways in which Indigenous made cinema can help reorient our understandings of cinema theory and practice as well as how we might make sense of socioecological catastrophes that affect our relations with people, land and machines.
