Film Series from the Indigenous Impact Alliance

Lake Superior College’s Sociology Department and IceHawk’s Center for Equity and Inclusion invite you to a public viewing of the acclaimed film Sugarcane. Lunch included!
The film is described as:
A stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life, SUGARCANE, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. In 2021, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence, the forced separation, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, SUGARCANE illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere.
Film: Yintah
Friday, December 12th, 11:30 kick-off and lunch, 12-1:30 film viewing, 1:30 debrief. Room S255.
Lake Superior College’s Sociology Department and IceHawk’s Center for Equity and Inclusion invite you to a public viewing of the acclaimed film Yintah. Lunch included!
The film is described as:
YINTAH is about an anti-colonial resurgence—a fierce and ongoing fight for Indigenous and human rights in the face of a colonial government committed to seizing lands at gunpoint.
Wet’suwet’en land is unceded: There is no treaty, no bill of sale, or no surrender placing the land under Canadian authority. In 1997, the Dinï ze’ and Tsakë ze’ (Hereditary Chiefs) of the Wet’suwet’en people proved in Canada’s top court that they had never given up ownership to 22,000km2 of land.
Yet, despite this court ruling, Canada has authorized fossil fuel giants to build pipelines across Wet’suwet’en land. The result: a decade long clash between Wet’suwet’en land defenders and Canadian police seeking to seize Wet’suwet’en land at gunpoint.
YINTAH is the story of the Indigenous right to sovereignty over Indigenous territories. Freda, Molly, and the Dinï ze’ and Tsakë ze’ are part of a centuries-long fight to protect their children, culture, and land from colonial violence. For the Wet’suwet’en, their very future is at stake.
