12 days, thousands of kilometers dodging potholes and cynical corporate PR—from Nehirowisiw Territory to Kanehsatake, swing through Wemotaci, then Mashteuiatsh—just to film land defenders giving CN and the clear-cutting psychopaths the one-finger salute. This clip, They Stopped the Train to Defend the Forest, is a taste of our full doc Defenders of the Forest, dropping soon and free for your solidarity screenings. Stay woke (LOL) and check 🔗 https://amplifierfilms.ca — this isn’t tourism, it’s frontline Indigenous resistance.

Bon, 12 jours Ă  parcourir le soi-disant QuĂ©bec dans tous les sens – Camp SouverainetĂ©, Kanesatake, Wemotaci, retour Ă  Camp SouverainetĂ©, puis hop, Terre Inu, et enfin Mashteuiatsh – juste pour voir des actes de rĂ©sistance autochtone badass contre l’aviditĂ© forestiĂšre. Premier Ă©pisode de notre sĂ©rie vidĂ©o, et je vous prĂ©viens : ça va dĂ©poter. Montage complet en docu bientĂŽt.

Ne vous inquiĂ©tez pas, demain la version anglaise dĂ©barque. Et Ă©videmment tout est en français
 sauf la partie qui sera en anglais demain, parce que oui, je suis un gĂ©nie de la logique linguistique. 😉

En juillet 2025, des dĂ©fenseur·e·s de la terre innu·e·s et nehirowisiw·e·s, membres de l’Alliance MAMO, ont bloquĂ© les voies ferrĂ©es du Canadien National entre la Mauricie et l’Abitibi pour stopper l’extraction massive de bois sur leurs territoires non cĂ©dĂ©s. MalgrĂ© la prĂ©sence policiĂšre, les blocus sont restĂ©s pacifiques, ancrĂ©s dans une volontĂ© de protection du territoire et de la forĂȘt borĂ©ale. Amplifier Films Ă©tait sur place, Ă  Wemotaci et Mashteuiatsh, pour documenter cette action de souverainetĂ© autochtone.

🚹 En direct de Mashteuiatsh 🚹
En ce moment, nous couvrons une action que les dĂ©fenseur·e·s innu·e·s qualifient d’exercice de souverainetĂ©.

Ils et elles prĂ©voient de bloquer les rails du CN pour protĂ©ger leur territoire ancestral. À leurs cĂŽtĂ©s, des allié·e·s atikamekw — Ă©galement connus sous le nom de Nehirowisiw — s’inscrivent comme gardien·ne·s de la forĂȘt.

Nous sommes en tournage pour un documentaire Ă  venir intitulĂ© Gardien·ne·s de la forĂȘt.

🚹 Live from Mashteuiatsh 🚹
Right now, we’re covering an action that Innu land defenders are calling an exercise in sovereignty.

They plan to block the CN railway tracks to protect their ancestral territory. Alongside them, Atikamekw allies — also known as Nehirowisiw — stand as guardians of the forest.

We’re currently filming an upcoming documentary titled Guardians of the Forest.

OK I swear this is the last post I’ll make about the Oka Crisis this year
 but it’s important to remember.

Alanis Obomsawin’s Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance didn’t just blow my mind — it shaped the way I approach filmmaking. It showed me that a film could be more than a record — it could be a weapon. A document of resistance that outlives the moment and keeps feeding the fire.

I wrote up some thoughts about that, and shared a few pieces I’ve made over the years about the so-called Oka Crisis — clips with Clifton Nicholas, Gord Hill and Ellen Gabriel.

Reflections on Resistance: 35 Years Since the Siege of KanehsatĂ :ke | Amplifier Films

To mark 35 years since the siege of Kanehsatà:ke, I’m sharing some reflections on how Kanehsatà:ke: 270 Years of Resistance shaped my own filmmaking — along with a selection of clips I’ve produced over the years to honor the legacy of the so-called Oka Crisis and the power of Indigenous resistance. From Gord Hill to Ellen Gabriel to the Warrior Flag itself, these films are meant to document, remember, and inspire.
