Located on one of the bayous in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, Pointe-Au-Chien is a small fishing community with one of the state’s most unique histories and cultures. The tribe has lived on this bayou for centuries and, to this day, speaks in a unique “Indian-French” dialect. This small tribe continues to exist despite colonization, land loss, lack of status as a federally recognized tribe, exploitation of the land and people, and denial of educational opportunities. Today, their fight for equality continues with the Terrebonne Parish School Board deciding in April 2021 to shut down their only elementary school as a cost-saving measure, forcing approximately 100 students to transfer to a school in another community. “The Precipice” traces the town’s recovery and follows the tribe’s federal recognition process as they plan to file their final petition in 2024.
