北美阿本拿基族 (Abeniki) ，當代最重要的原住民族導演。1932年出生，成長於加拿大東北部奧達納克 (Odanak) 原住民族保留區，見證原住民族從備受白人政權壓迫到族群運動風起雲湧的時代。創作能量豐沛，拍攝電影至今近半世紀，共完成超過50部紀錄片與劇情片。亦為歌手、教育者，畢生積極推動原住民族群運動，捍衛「第一民族」 (First Nations) 的權益。 1960年代，奧柏莎溫以歌手身分在北美各地演唱，透過阿本拿基語向大眾傳遞族群的故事。1967年，她受邀擔任加拿大國家電影委員會製作之原住民紀錄片顧問；1971年，她和原住民寄宿學校的孩子們合作創作短片《聖誕麋鹿學院》，自此展開她的電影拍攝生涯。 奧柏莎溫的電影總是從仔細聆聽他人的故事開始，讓人物透過自己的語言，講述自己的故事。她關注原住民族的權利、文化保存與生態議題，作品題材含括北美原住民族傳統技藝與口述歷史的保存、人與非人之間的生態關係、捍衛傳統領域、對抗不公義的資本主義結構與殖民主義遺緒等。她走訪北美各族群的生活領域，親臨社會運動現場，以影像與聲音記錄下原住民族的故事。 除了透過影像記錄與敘事，傳遞原住民族的知識與文化以外，她也積極參與政治運動，擔任加拿大議會的原住民顧問，並在電影委員會為原住民族與女性電影工作者爭取更平等的工作機會。
