SHORT FILM SCREENINGS:
* Skwelkwek’welt Protection Center
* Take Back the Land - Spirit Lake
* Native Youth Movement (Secwepemc Chapter) Roadblock

Join us for a series of short movies on the struggle of the Secwepemc
community defending their traditional indigenous territories from economic
development being undertaken by Sun Peaks Resort, Delta Hotels, and real
estate developers. Over the years, repression faced by those defending
their rights against neoliberal-capitalist and colonial expansion has
resulted in 54 arrests. All funds raised will go towards legal costs of
two Skwelkwek’welt defenders who in Feb 2007 will be appealing criminal
charges from a road blockade in 2001.
