Description taken from the NFB: "Covering a vast swath of northern Ontario, Treaty No. 9 reflects the often contradictory interpretations of treaties between First Nations and the Crown. To the Canadian government, this treaty represents a surrendering of Indigenous sovereignty, while the descendants of the Cree signatories contend its original purpose to share the land and its resources has been misunderstood and not upheld. Enlightening as it is entertaining, Trick or Treaty? succinctly and powerfully portrays one community’s attempts to enforce their treaty rights and protect their lands, while also revealing the complexities of contemporary treaty agreements. Trick or Treaty? made history as the first film by an Indigenous filmmaker to be part of the Masters section at TIFF when it screened there in 2014."

From the creators: "We join forces with two amazing Indigenous writers and scholars who are making waves in the literary scene with their poetry, prose, and fiction. They weave words and worlds to help us see and understand queer indigenous identities and bodies, the ways that settler colonialism has disrupted and distorted our relationships, and the power of asserting voice in spaces not meant for us." Interviewees are Joshua Whitehead (who is Ojibwe & Cree, from the Peguis First Nation, located in Treaty 1 territory, and is Two Spirit IndigiQueer) and Billiy-Ray Belcourt (who is from the Driftpile Cree Nation and is a PhD student in the Department of English & Film Studies at the University of Alberta); work from both of these authors is featured in this resource list.There is a small mention of sexual assault about halfway through the episode, so teachers should listen through first, warn their classes and be prepared with resources for survivors.

Cette version de l'exercise des couvertures a été conçue par le Réseau Œcuménique Justice, Écologie et Paix (ROJEP). Elle constitue une version spécifiquement québécoise de l'exercice. Elle reprend aussi plusieurs passages d’une version de l’Exercice préparée par un groupe d’étudiantes et d’étudiants de l’UQAM, intitulée Mitshetuteuat. L'objectif est de sensibiliser des gens à l’expérience historique de la dépossession vécue par les peuples autochtones au Québec et au Canada, ainsi qu’à ses conséquences aujourd’hui. En se mettant un moment à la place de l’Autochtone, peut-être pourrons-nous ressentir ce que c’est que d’être autochtone aujourd’hui ? Peut-être pourrons-nous échanger sur la réalité autochtone dans une perspective renouvelée ? Un outil unique de conscientisation à faire vivre dans vos groupes afin de réfléchir ensemble sur la réalité vécue par les Premières Nations depuis les débuts de la colonisation européenne en Amérique.

La couverture réchauffe, protège et permet aux enfants de toutes les Nations de faire de beaux rêves. Chez certains peuples, même les animaux profitent de sa chaleur! Rivard, avec ses collages uniques, rappelle l’origine et la signification des nombreux motifs qu’arbore la couverture, comme le tartan des Écossais ou les bandes multicolores de la couverture de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson, sans oublier de faire allusion à un épisode plus noir de notre histoire : les couvertures contaminées par des maladies distribuées aux Premières Nations.

Mixed Blessings transforms our understanding of the relationship between Indigenous people and Christianity in Canada from the early 1600s to the present day. While acknowledging the harm of colonialism, including the trauma inflicted by church-run residential schools, this interdisciplinary collection challenges the portrayal of Indigenous people as passive victims of malevolent missionaries who experienced a uniformly dark history. Instead, this book illuminates the diverse and multifaceted ways that Indigenous communities and individuals – including prominent leaders such as Louis Riel and Edward Ahenakew – have interacted, and continue to interact, meaningfully with Christianity.

The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book is a powerful and historically accurate graphic portrayal of Indigenous resistance to the European colonization of the Americas, beginning with the Spanish invasion under Christopher Columbus and ending with the Six Nations land reclamation in Ontario in 2006. Gord Hill spent two years unearthing images and researching historical information to create The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book, which presents the story of Indigenous resistance in a far-reaching format. Other events depicted include the 1680 Pueblo Revolt in New Mexico; the Inca insurgency in Peru from the 1500s to the 1780s; Pontiac and the 1763 Rebellion & Royal Proclamation; Geronimo and the 1860s Seminole Wars; Crazy Horse and the 1877 War on the Plains; the rise of the American Indian Movement in the 1960s; 1973's Wounded Knee; the Mohawk Oka Crisis in Quebec in 1990; and the 1995 Aazhoodena/Stoney Point resistance. With strong, plain language and evocative illustrations, The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book documents the fighting spirit and ongoing resistance of Indigenous peoples through 500 years of genocide, massacres, torture, rape, displacement, and assimilation: a necessary antidote to the conventional history of the Americas.
