Aki is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Darlene Naponse and released in 2025. The film is a portrait of changing seasonal life, both in the natural world and in the culture of the community, in Naponse's home community of Atikameksheng Anishnawbek, an Ojibwe reserve near Sudbury, Ontario.
The film also includes some contrast between the natural environment of Atikameksheng, and the surrounding industrial development in Sudbury.
The film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, and subsequently had a gala screening at the 2025 Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival.
