Much is made of communal solidarity and spirituality during the planning stages of this dangerous quest, but it only amplifies a glaring thinness in Niska and company’s characterisation; any sense of an inner life is eclipsed by pedestrian thriller plot points. Niska’s double displacement might have been a fertile area for investigation – she encounters systematic discrimination but can’t communicate in Cree with her newfound comrades. Yet all this remains sorely underdeveloped. Solid performances from Tailfeathers and Letexier-Hart can’t elevate a script that is neither effective as straight sci-fi nor a subversion of the genre.

Night Raiders follows the arduous journey of Niska (Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers), a Cree woman regretting her decision to give up her injured daughter Waseese (Brooklyn Letexier-Hart) to the authoritarian state. The film zigzags between lush forests and sterile cityscapes (where grey skies are darkened by swaths of surveilling drones). A chance encounter with a group of Indigenous vigilantes sweeps Niska into a rescue mission for children – her daughter among them – who are locked inside the ominous academy, where they are trained to be robotic instruments of state power.

Centring on a dystopian North America where Indigenous children are abducted and placed in state-run institutions to be brainwashed – a detail that recalls the shameful history of Canadian residential schools – this is a cautionary tale from Cree-Métis director Danis Goulet that has the commendable aim of reclaiming sci-fi tropes that recklessly appropriate the trauma of minority groups. But despite these lofty intentions and a wealth of Native American talent, the film follows a highly predictable path where the plight of Indigenous communities never amounts to anything more than simplified metaphors.
