- In the early 1970s, ten young Cree leaders were asked by community elders to lead the fight during negotiations for the James Bay Northern Quebec Agreement. May their experiences serve to guide and inspire Cree youth and others in similar circumstances today. It covers the period of time from the first announcement of Bourassa's "Project of the Century" to the signing of the JBNQA.
The video explores the reaction of the James Bay Crees to the huge James Bay hydroelectric project that dammed or diverted all major rivers in Eeyou territory. Highlighting the social, political, economic and spiritual life of the Eeyouch, the films use first-person accounts by the signatories to the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement to show how they defended their rights, built a modern Eeyou nation and changed the course of history for Aboriginal people across Canada for the better.
This video is the first of a four-part documentary feature-length film series that was filmed and produced by gordongroup. : - Zábava
It hurts me so bad to see how my ancestors fought with all their lives to keep our lands and this land has always been stolen from us! Look at this once beautiful land.. The trees are all gone and the water is poisoned! This was not the creators intentions! Everything we needed was off the land. We the ppl are one with the land to love and cherish and respect every living creature and thank the soulsof the creatures who we sacrificed to feed our families! I still pray to the millions of natives who lost and gave their lives. I still literally cry as if i can see you guys in the forests..... Waving hi but sad that what was once beautiful and free is now governed and made ugly.
I deeply hope the Cree people have the chance to preserve their way of life.
Miss these fellows, who stand up for our rights, long gone farewells!!
I'm Cree too all my life.
I'm from waterhen Lake first nation
I wonder if anything could be done to reverse what has been done, before anymore cities are built up. If people could be taught to build more sustainably. Hydro electricity causes a lot of harm. I remember reading about it in high school and how the mercury levels rose. Electricity could be gone tommorow and then people would not know how to provide for themselves.
Why didn't hydro put the turbines in sea where there is strong waters flow at constant flow to get the power...
Who did this piece? How can I get in contact with him or her?
You can find the documentary online, I don’t remember who did this but we watch it regularly for our Cree studies because I’m native. They teach this video in my classes. The video is about 1 hr long I believe?
I am Cree from Onion Lake First Nation
If you want an example of how governments view the people; the same governments that so many think will provide for them and protect them, just take a look at the case of the Cree and so many other aboriginal peoples .
Amerindians of many Cree Tribes treated Eskimos so viciously
Billy diamond was ahead of his time, his last quote (“ this will push as forward”) as the canoe of humility be ride on the river of life, man vs Nature and our spirits and our souls will reveal its true Nature and their knowledge will be use against them and they will be defeat by Nature’s warrior and our history may came from a struggling battle but Our story does not end there.....
I'm a Cree, lived in Chisasibi, I'm 13, usually I always saying in English, I understand Cree but I don't speak it,
I’m 19 and moved to Wemindji about 6 years ago from Ontario, I still don’t speak cree! But I understand it.
Hey I'm half awashish and there's not a lot of that family
Ponoka was true, the white elk is true. The descendants are true! After Ponoka returned from his hunt he fed his people... cut holes in the skin and stretched it with stakes he cured, and smoked and softened the hide.... and as tribute for the white elks sacrifice ! Ponoka flung the elk hide to the stars to guide Ponoka and his people for many millennia to the winter hunting grounds! And safely home..... There is more...... lots more! The whole story!! And involves a city the size of Simcoe county Ontario!
