Incident at Restigouche

This film is about the canadian government enforcing their policies on our people. This film was made in 1984. It showed how ignorant and brutal the canadian government can be towards First Nations People who exercise their traditions.
I can't think of anything similar to this happening within my community. Maybe the dealings with Boat Harbour. But I don't know much about it.
Before watching this film, I didn't know what to expect, but its funny how history repeats itself because I knew of the incident in Burnt Church which is similar to this story.
Not one person stood out for me, they all had unbelievable horror stories.
In this film the canadian government proved to be ignorant to our history.
After watching this film, I felt so enraged. Its been thirty years since this incident and I don't see much improvement or change within the canadian government.
The Restigouche people continued to practice their fishing rights. This film is perfect in showcasing just how brutal the canadian government can be when they don't get their way.
