En ce moment, nous couvrons une action que les défenseur·e·s innu·e·s qualifient d’exercice de souveraineté.

Ils et elles prévoient de bloquer les rails du CN pour protéger leur territoire ancestral. À leurs côtés, des allié·e·s atikamekw — également connus sous le nom de Nehirowisiw — s’inscrivent comme gardien·ne·s de la forêt.

Nous sommes en tournage pour un documentaire à venir intitulé Gardien·ne·s de la forêt.

🚨 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.

We’ve been bouncing all over the map this week.

Started at Camp Souveraineté on Nehirowisiw territory, standing with land defenders holding down the line against colonial logging.

Then dropped down to Kanehsatake, Mohawk territory, reconnecting with warriors still rooted in a long, unbroken tradition of resistance.

From there, we headed back north to Wemotaci, where we linked up with the Gardien·nes du Territoire — watching them keep close surveillance on the CN rail lines, blocking shipments of stolen wood. Successfully. It was heartening. Brought us right back to the energy of #ShutdownCanada in 2020. That fire is still burning.

🎥 Stay tuned for our upcoming doc: Guardians of the Land.

We took a break from filming in Nehirowisiw territory (also known as Nitaskinan, homeland of the Atikamekw) for our upcoming documentary Guardians of the Forest to meet with Rehab Nazzal—who first met Clifton Ariwakehte Nicholas in 2016 when she served as an activist guide during his visit to Bethlehem and the occupied West Bank.

This time, Clifton was able to return the gesture by welcoming her to Kanehsatà:ke and sharing the land with her alongside longtime land defender and Siege of Kanehsatà:ke veteran Ellen Gabriel.

It was a powerful exchange between communities separated by geography but united in struggle.

🎥 Stay tuned for more rough cuts from A Red Road to the West Bank, and keep an eye out for Guardians of the Forest—a documentary-in-the-making about the ongoing fight to protect Nehirowisiw lands.

FRANÇAIS :

On a tenu une projection de Soleils Atikamekw au checkpoint du kilomètre 133, désormais baptisé Camp Souveraineté, en territoire Nehirowisiw (Atikamekw).

Voir ce film sur la terre dont il parle, avec les gens qui la vivent et la défendent, c’était puissant et profondément enraciné.

Pas de scène. Pas de salle. Juste le feu, la résistance, et des récits portés de génération en génération.

ENGLISH:

We held a screening of Soleils Atikamekw at the checkpoint at kilometer 133, now christened Camp Sovereignty, in Nehirowisiw territory (Atikamekw).

Watching this film on the land it speaks to, with the people it speaks for, was powerful and grounding.

No theatre. No stage. Just firelight, resistance, and stories carried across generations.

Amplifier Films founder, @franklinlopez, sat down with legendary Montreal-based activist Stefan Christoff to discuss the Nehírowisiw people’s resistance against colonial and corporate destruction of their forests.

With blockades lighting up across so-called Quebec, this conversation digs into the roots of the struggle, the land, and the fire of Indigenous resistance. Watch it, share it, and turn it up.

If you are in #Tiohtià:ke / #Montréal tomorrow night, I'll be screening a couple of films as part of an event on the #Nehirowisiw fight to protect their forests from uncontrolled logging. Land defenders and speaker will be on hand to lead a discussion on what actions to take in order to preserve these vital forests and foment real solidarity with Indigenous peoples.
