Algonquins of Barriere Lake vs Section 74 of the Indian Act
[vimeo 23103527]
Barriere Lake Solidarity has produced this video to help bring attention to the current struggle by the Algonquins of Barriere Lake (ABL) against the Canadian Government’s imposition of Section 74 of the Indian Act. By enacting this obscure piece of the Act, the Canadian Government is attempting to take control of the community by imposing band council elections on the community. The ABL have always had their own customary government.

Props definitely have to go to Ernesto for this. Even though I embed vimeo regularly on my personal site, I just couldn’t get it to embed on wordpress.org. Ernesto cleared all that up though!
