Let's Go Back to Our Land* (Chiiwaanaatihtaau Chitischiinuu)

• 1994 ----- color ----- 31 min ----- vhs
• In 1971 the Government of Quebec announced the "project of the century" which would see the damming of every major river flowing into James and Hudson's Bays. The project would flood thousands of square miles of traditional Cree and Inuit hunting and fishing territory. As a result of the ecological disaster resulting from Phase I of the plan and its descruction of native ways of life, the Cree and Inuit of Quebec held a Gathering at Great Whale River in July of 1993 to reclaim their heritage and their ancestral lands in northern Quebec.
