Kim Arseneault
W8linak
Originally from W8linak (and born in Trois-Rivières), Kim Arseneault is an Abenaki woman passionate about her nation's culture and history. After participating in an initial creative workshop with Wapikoni in 2022, she decided to pursue film studies at the Kiuna College Centre in the winter of 2023. She uses cinema as a tool for healing and a voice to break taboos, all while highlighting the richness of Abenaki culture. Her greatest source of inspiration is her daughter, Arielle; she aims to build a better future for her by demonstrating—through her films—that an Abenaki woman is capable of achieving anything she desires.
