Location: L.E. Shore Library
Directed by Alanis Obomsawim, one of the most acclaimed Indigenous directors in the world, "Trick or Treaty?" explores Treaty No.9, a 1905 agreement between First Nations people in northern Ontario and the Crown. The Crown considers Indigenous sovereignty surrendered, while the descendants of the Cree signatories contend that the treaty is not upheld. "Trick or Treaty?" is enlightening and entertaining, 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.
