Synopsis: From 2011 - 2015 community members in Wisconsin's Penokee Hills on the south shore of Lake Superior challenged what would have been the world's largest taconite mine. The centerpiece of that challenge was the Anishinabe-led Harvest Education Learning Project: a five-acre protest/envisioning camp on the edge of the proposed mine site. In 2015 the mining company closed its doors and left the region. "From Wisconsin with Love: People of Harvest" is the story of what the community was fighting for from the perspective of Anishinabe prophecy and practice - and what happened next.
Stories from Land Back Camp June 30 (following From Wisconsin with Love, above) 26 minutes. Documentary A film by Erik O’Neill. Co-directed by Erik O’Neill, Amy Smoke & Bangishimo Rating: PG
Synopsis: On Indigenous peoples’ day a large tepee was erected in a busy, urban park close to O:seKenhionhata:tie (Willow River, presently called the Grand River) with the intention to assert an Indigenous presence just for the day. Over 100 days later, the tepee still remained standing, with the space around it transformed into a camp of queer, Two Spirit, trans, and/or non-binary youth learning and practicing their Indigenous cultural heritages and demanding Land Back.
