Celebrate Indigenous Heritage Month by learning about Indigenous Perspectives during the 1885 Resistance!
In this engaging mini-documentary, Elders, Knowledge Holders & the next generation, share their oral histories around a bad incident in 1885.
In 1885, tensions were high between the Peace and War Chiefs and the Government of Canada. Treaties had been established to maintain respectful relationships, but after a harsh winter, Indigenous children and families were starving. When the War Chief approached the Indian Agent to collect food rations as outlined in the Treaty agreement, he was denied. This denial led to the tragic deaths of nine settlers.
The aftermath was even more devastating: Canada carried out its largest mass execution, resulting in the deaths of eight Cree warriors. These men had no understanding of the legal system and no access to counsel.
This mini-documentary shares what the community of Frog Lake has passed down for over a century, ensuring their stories are told so that history will never repeat itself. The strongest theme conveyed in the film, is the desire to maintain peaceful relations. It does not get more authentic than this!
