 Our Land, My People: The Struggle of the Lubicon Cree
(2008, 25 min.) ENGLAND
Produced by: Amnesty International
This documentary follows Lubicon Cree councillors, elders, and band members of northern Alberta who share the impact of resource exploitation on their way of life and traditional economy. Since the late 1970s the lands on which the Lubicon depend have been transformed by logging and large-scale oil and gas extraction. Despite a 1990 decision by the United Nations Human Rights Committee that the human rights of the Lubicon Cree are being violated by the impact of natural resource extraction, the Canadian authorities have failed to bring about a fair resolution of the long standing land dispute.
