YINTAH, meaning “land” in the Wet’suwet’en language, tells the story of an Indigenous nation’s fight for sovereignty as they resist the construction of multiple oil and fracked-gas pipelines across their territory. Jennifer Wickham, one of the directors of the film YINTAH, joins in conversation with Tsakë ze’ Sleydo’ Molly Wickham, one of the film's main protagonists.  

 

YINTAH is about an anti-colonial resurgence—a fierce and ongoing fight for Indigenous and human rights. The film reveals the hypocrisy of the Canadian government’s espousal of reconciliation, as Indigenous land is still being seized at gunpoint for the purpose of resource extraction. Freda, Molly, and the land defenders are part of a centuries-long fight to protect their children, culture, and land from colonial violence. Learn more about the film and the event on the Institute of the Arts and Sciences website here.

 

 This event is a joint program of Visualizing Abolition and An Aesthetics of Resilience research initiatives.
