*Interviews from Defenders of the Land 2008: *
*A network of Indigenous communities and activists in land struggle across
Canada
November 2008 -- Winnipeg -- 13 interviews -- 133 minutes*

Between November 12-14, 2008, the historic Defenders of the Land gathering
took place in Winnipeg. The gathering brought together dozens of grassroots
activists, elders, youth, women and men from Indigenous communities across
"Canada" who are in active struggle to defend their land and assert
self-determination. The second Defenders of the Land gathering was recently
held in Vancouver, Coast Salish Territories, in November 2009.

Members of No One Is Illegal-Montreal have recently uploaded thirteen
interviews with participants from the 2008 Defenders of the Land Gathering
in Winnipeg. The interviews are now available for viewing and download on
the IsumaTV website. IsumaTV is an independent interactive network of Inuit
and Indigenous multimedia.

*--> The Defenders of the Land channel, with all thirteen interviews, is
accessible here: http://www.isuma.tv/hi/en/defenders-land/ <--*

The individual links to each interview are also included below.
Collectively, the interviews provide a frontline perspective on diverse and
linked struggles for land, freedom and self-determination on Turtle Island,
as well as reflections on the Defenders of the Land gathering itself.
