Twenty-five years ago, the documentary Is the Crown at War with Us?, directed by Alanis Obomsawin, was released. It explores the struggle between Mi’kmaq fishermen from Burnt Church, NB, and federal fisheries over the recognition of their inherent fishing rights as Indigenous people. 

Today, many Indigenous communities across Turtle Island continue to face challenges in having their fishing and hunting rights recognized and respected. 

We invite you to join us for a screening of this powerful documentary, followed by an open discussion about the historical and ongoing conflicts between Indigenous communities and the Canadian government. 

Please note: The documentary contains scenes of violence.
