Six milles à l'horizon

Ce court métrage documentaire montre le rôle essentiel qu’ont joué les mères iroquoises durant les événements politiques du 28 février 2006 à Caledonia, en Ontario. En ce jour historique, des membres de la Confédération iroquoise ont érigé des barricades sur une route pour empêcher des travaux de construction sur des terres qui, affirment-ils, leur appartiennent légitimement. Une réflexion sur la résistance, la société et l’histoire des femmes autochtones.

One of the Six Nations leaders says, “When we consider what prosperity means to them and what prosperity means to us, it’s two totally clashing perspectives.” Have students discuss this. How do the Native women see their role in the community and in the conflict? Have students describe and discuss the interests and perspectives of the two opposing parties, namely the Canadian government and the Native groups.
