Haida filmmaker Heather Hatch’s film follows the struggles of Diane Abel and Chief Roland Willson of West Moberly First Nations as they battle the BC government against the construction of the Site C Dam. If constructed, it will give way to the extinction of their people’s culture by destroying the land and water they have occupied for over 13,000 years. While crown corporations and political parties collude against their traditional way of life, the desire to fight for their nations is embedded in these resilient activists.
West Moberly First Nations are covered under Treaty 8, the government’s century-old agreement with Indigenous people intended to last “as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the rivers flow.”
Wochiigii lo: End of the Peace is essential viewing.
