FILM SCREENING: Kahnesatake: 270 Years of Resistance:

Alanis Obomsawin's (Abenaki Nation) film about the 1990 Oka crisis which
took place in Quebec when the municipality of Oka began to extend its golf
course to the sacred lands of the Kahnesatake, Mohawk Indians territory.
The film has won over 18 international awards and is a strong and powerful
narrative of Indigenous nations mounting resistance to colonialism. This
film also provides an important backdrop to understanding the current
situation unraveling in Mohawk territories for seven months as police/
military incursions and James Gabriel personal police force are being
legitimized with the stated purpose of "cracking down on organized crime".

...AND SPECIAL GUEST...

* Joanne Bourget: Inuit activist who has been fighting state terrorism in
her territories and in the Gaza Strip, making the links between
Palestinian and North American indigenous resistance.
