Witsuwit'en

In the 1930s, a number of Witsuwit'en residents participated in a tax revolt, fighting for the right for their children to attend public school along with the children of other taxpayers. This movement came after the daughter of Witsuwit'en leader Jack Joseph died in a residential school, says McCreary.

The directors said they also had lengthy consultations about what context was essential to the film; for example, what the Witsuwit'en governance structure looks like, the feast hall ban, and the 1997 Delgamuukw-Gisday'wa decision from the Supreme Court of Canada, which recognized that the Witsuwit'en people never gave up title to an area the size of New Jersey.

A grandmother of 10 who speaks Witsuwit’en, Ms. George was once entrusted by her community to help translate the landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision in Delgamuukw. That case established for the first time that aboriginal title had not been extinguished. The case was fought by the Wet’suwet’en and neighbouring Gitxsan.
