*The Invisible Nation
directed by Richard Desjardins and Robert Monderie

Less than two centuries ago, the Algonquin nation occupied land stretching
from Laval to Lake Huron. Despite having never ceded their land, the
Algonquin today are squeezed onto small reserves, while corporations freely
plunder their natural resources. Award-wining Québécois filmmaker and
folksinger Richard Desjardins and Monderie expose the plight of an
oft-ignored people living in our midst.

*The Algonquins of Barriere Lake
directed by Peter Vicaire & others

The community of Barriere Lake has been struggling, against all odds, to
hold the provincial and federal governments to a 1991 resource co-management
agreement, widely lauded as a model for protecting indigenous land uses. But
the federal government has persistently tried to scuttle the agreement,
going so far as to oust the traditional community leadership in 1996, and
more recently, to simply refuse to recognize it.
