The
Algonquin once lived in harmony with the vast territory they occupied.
This balance was upset when the Europeans arrived in the 16th century.
Gradually, their Aboriginal traditions were undermined and their
natural resources plundered. Today, barely 9,000 Algonquin are left.
They live in about 10 communities, often enduring abject poverty and
human rights abuses. – www.NFB.ca

“A fascinating documentary exposing a truth we’d rather not know.” - Marc-André Lussier, La Presse
“Shocking but essential.” - Michel Defoy, Voir
“The images speak and the words punch [...] a very moving film.” - Brigitte McCann, Le Journal de Montréal


“Colonialism
is not just the theft of territory, and populating it with new settlers
and their way of life.  It also involves the destruction of the social,
political and economic institutions of the original inhabitants.” –
>From Hoping Against Hope? The Struggle Against Colonialism in Canada
