Isaac Littlefeathers
Isaac Littlefeathers is a Canadian drama film, directed by Les Rose and released in 1984. The film stars William Korbut as the titular Isaac Littlefeathers, a young Métis boy in Edmonton who is struggling to establish his identity, having been raised by Jewish shopkeeper Abe Kapp ever since being abandoned by his parents in childhood.
The film had been in development since 1976, but Rose was unable to secure funding for the film until CBC Television committed to broadcast it in 1985 as part of its expanded program of independent production. The film had a brief theatrical run in 1984 in advance of its television premiere.
The film received five Genie Award nominations at the 6th Genie Awards in 1985, for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Overall Sound, Best Sound Editing and Best Original Score.
