In 2021, #Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation students at the #KassinuMamu school in #Mashteuiatsh, Quebec created art inspired by this needle bag using abstract painting, stencils, and their own personal styles. Once the works were completed, they were cut into 4 x 4 inch pieces and mounted onto blocks of wood.

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.
