- The people of the Attawapiskat First Nation, a Cree community in northern Ontario, were thrust into the national spotlight in 2012 when the impoverished living conditions on their reserve became an issue of national debate. With The People of the Kattawapiskak River, Abenaki director Alanis Obomsawin quietly attends as community members tell their own story, shedding light on a history of dispossession and official indifference. “Obomsawin’s main objective is to make us see the people of Attawapiskat differently,” said Robert Everett-Green in The Globe & Mail. “The emphasis, ultimately, is not so much on looking as on listening-the first stage in changing the conversation, or in making one possible.” Winner of the 2013 Donald Brittain Award for Best Social/Political Documentary, the film is part of a cycle of films that Obomsawin has made on children’s welfare and rights.
Directed by Alanis Obomsawin - 2012 | 75 min

Let Me Guess - DeBeers is extracting Billions of dollars of Diamonds - and they give some second hand/ used Pathetic trailers in return ....wow so "impressive ";
It's impossible to understand, how such a rich Nation as Canada, can bear treating the lands origin and Native People so cruel, as ever since the white European intruders have set feet on the ground and violated the Native communities.
Lotte Starck well that’s similarly what’s happening in Palestine
@@haridojamaru829 It's not at all like Palestine. The aboriginals in Attawapiskat are part of Canada and are encouraged to move south with financial help where there are jobs and better living conditions. Israel is illegally invading Palestine and conducting military strikes that kill many of them.
GREED
If you’re waiting for the government to take care of you and you’re in poverty, you’re a fool.
Trying to watch this doc without judgment,, but it's proving to be difficult. Has their standard of living changed in the past few hundred years?
Yes they did, the whites colonized us and made it illegal to practice our culture, so we lost our old living standards and alot of our traditions , next up they forced us in reservation in poor conditions.
They only need their land back.
You need to go back to your own origin roots, go back to your country
I live here and have been to your residential school
The De Beers mine is now closed…what will the future hold? Was the victor project beneficial to Attawapiskat during operations?
