On Thursday, March 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Café Aquin, Climate Rage is organizing a screening of the documentary "Blockade." Directed by Frank Lopez, this short film retraces the last five years of Indigenous resistance on the Nehirowisiw and Innu territories, in the heart of Nitaskinan and Nitassinan. Simultaneous translation (French to English) will be available. The screening will be followed by a group discussion and delicious samosas. Come one, come all!
The colonial state continues to legitimize its own existence by violently exploiting unceded territory and resources; The flood of new industrial projects, in the name of economic growth and military defense, attempts to drown out those who resist this fascist ideology. The MAMO First Nations Alliance, bringing together the Guardians of Neihirowisi Aski, Nitassinan, and Ndakina, was formed in the wake of the controversial Bill 97, which aimed to reform the forestry regime in so-called Quebec, specifically to give a large portion of the territory to private companies. This law is merely the latest link in an age-old story that connects the colonial state to the exploitation of the land and its inhabitants.
Samosas will be served!
