 Our
Nationhood
(2003, 96 min.) CANADA
Producer and director: Alanis Obomsawin (Abenaki)
Produced for: the National Film Board of Canada
The ongoing struggles of the Mi'kmaq community at Listuguj in
Quebec, and the issue of logging on their traditional lands are
the subjects of Our Nationhood. As the focus turns to a standoff
facing the community-the tension between traditional and government-sanctioned
leaderships-the film asserts the importance to aboriginal people
of nationhood and the management of their own resources.
