Invasion: Canada’s Ongoing Colonization of Its Indigenous People
Invasion
Unistoten Camp (2019)
Film Review
Invasion is about an incursion into Wet'suwet'en earlier this year by
Canadian police armed with assault weapons. This followed an injunction a
British Columbia court granting petroleum companies authority to build
a network of oil/gas pipelines across their
land. Since none of the Wet'suet'en clans have ceded their land to
European settlers, the injunction is illegal.
Despite the arrest of 14 clan activists, the standoff continues, as the
local clans complete construction of a four-story healing center near
one of the proposed pipeline routes. The arrests have triggered support
protests by indigenous people and environmentalists
across Canada and in the US.
