The Pass System at OISE

Aboriginal Studies Students' Union - University of Toronto

FREE SCREENING!  March 24, 2016, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education ROOM 12-130 (Nexus Lounge) From the Northwest Resistance of 1885 and for over 60 years, the Canadian Government denied many Indigenous peoples of the prairies the basic freedom to leave their reserves, all the while knowing there was no basis in law for the policy. This investigative documentary features Cree, Saulteaux, Dene, Ojibwe and Blackfoot Elders and their stories of living under and resisting the system, revealing a little-known picture of life under segregation. In Canada. “This powerful film draws from Elders’ memories and historical artifacts in order to detail the history of the pass system - yet another example of the regulation and control of Indigenous people through colonial policies created by the Canadian state.” - Idle No More Watch the trailer for the film here: <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="https://vimeo.com/125253802" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0"
