Notes: CLASSROOM USE ONLYClosed captioned. Film takes us to the Nass River valley where the Nisga'a bear witness to their current struggle and that of their ancestors. Archival material and interviews recount the clash of cultures over four generations and retrace the steps that carried the Nisga'a case to the Supreme Court of Canada. The film also documents an historic event of enormous significance: the arrival, 119 years after British Columbia joined Canada, of the first provincial delegation to negotiate land rights with the Nisga'a. The film is a powerful reminder that native land claims are not a recent phenomenon but rather they have finally gained the voice with which they may be heard.
