Short documentary, Director and Writer
The short film captures a pivotal meeting held in August of 1977 between five Yukon First Nations leaders and PM Pierre Elliot Trudeau. The meeting, which addressed the then-approved Mackenzie Pipeline, is meticulously documented in the minutes and vividly illustrates the dichotomy of two opposing perspectives on the economic, social, and cultural development of the land and its Indigenous inhabitants. This film is a significant contribution to the growing collection of Indigenous film projects and short documentaries that explore these vital themes.
