This film talks about the Mi'kmaq Rights Initiative, it was created in 2006. It basically said that we as Mi'kmaq need to figure out how we want to apply our rights. It confirms that we have them, but as a nation have to agree on how we are going to use them.
In our communities its a tough decision to agree on because most of our leaders are too busy with elections and how to stay in office.
I think to really understand what it is the Mi'kmaq Rights Initative are trying to accomplish you have to be an active part of the team.
Nobody in particular stood out to me in this film, and I don't think the Canadian government will be sp easy to negotiate with either. They're always coming up with a new legal word to try and make us look dumb.
I'm glad to see that we have started to intiate our rights, but we need more input at a quicker pace to get things in motion.
Overall I would say that this film needs more inspiration. Watching it, I just sat back and thought about how long will this take and whats being done to accompish these goals.
