🎥 YINTAH, meaning “land” in the Wet’suwet’en language, tells the story of an Indigenous nation asserting sovereignty. It is the story of the Wet’suwet’en people reoccupying their territory and resisting the construction of multiple pipelines.

The film follows Tsakë ze’ Howilhkat Freda Huson and Tsakë ze’ Sleydo’ Molly Wickham, along with the Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and fellow land defenders, as they reoccupy and protect their traditional land in a decade-long battle to keep out the companies that seek to exploit it.

❓After the film, we will have a live, virtual Q&A with Tsakë ze’Howilhkat Freda Huson where the audience will have a chance to ask questions.

Tsakë ze’Howilhkat Freda Huson is a wing chief of the Unist’ot’en people of the Wet’suwet’en C’ilhts’ëkhyu clan. In 2011, she reoccupied her family’s ancestral territory in defiance of enormous fossil fuel development, and in doing so became a recognized leader in the international fight for Indigenous sovereignty. Leaving behind a comfortable life to live directly in the path of a proposed pipeline corridor through Wet’suwet’en yintah, Howilhkat lead the way for other Wet’suwet’en families to reclaim their lands. With the help of many supporters she built a healing center for Wet'suwet'en people to heal from the violence of colonialism. She is internationally recognized for this work and has spoken as an advocate for her people at the United Nations.

🗣️The film and Q&A will be in English, and the film will have English subtitles.
