America appropriated a lot from the Haudenosaunee, too much to list here. But what they never understood was Peace, actual Peace. America's original sin was killing us (and so many others) so it could have "peace" and it never attoned for that. Each president is forever cursed to kill for "freedom".

7/ Repression is a spectrum. While Canadian police have been increasingly quick to arrest media workers, colonial forces in Israel have attempted to normalize the targeted assassinations of journalists.

4/ Dan Loan, Keir Knight, Jesse Freeston & Grace Burke all faced police lines while Sam Vinal & Alexandra Kotcheff beautifully documented the earliest days of the resistance. All worked in solidarity, often on a voluntary basis, in difficult environments, following Wet'suwet'en laws and protocols.

3/ I faced an RCMP rifle and four days in jail, and years of targeted harassment in order to make this film. Melissa Cox was arrested twice documenting this history, and devoted two years of her life to this project.

1/ It's an honour to win Best Cinematography in a Documentary for Yintah from the Canadian Screen Awards. Some thoughts on the award:
Yintahβs cinematography was a decade-long collective effort to witness history in the face of RCMP repression.
