Doors open at 7pm
In 1905, the Government of Canada and First Nations in northern Ontario signed Treaty 9, commonly known as the James Bay Treaty, in which the First Nations signatories supposedly "gave up" their land. Trick or Treaty?, directed by legendary Canadian filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin, addresses the controversial document which has been used to deprive First Nations communities of their rights.
The documentary follows various historical movements, including Chief Theresa Spence's hunger strike and the Idle No More protests. A legendary documentarian, Obomsawin has a gift of telling history in an alternative light, while also preserving stories that are often untold. While addressing the crucial issues involving Treaty 9, Obomsawin has conquered the feat of explaining a complex part of history, while also connecting the past to current political uprisings.
