The Spirit of the Tsilqot'in People is Hovering over the Supreme Court

This documentary showcases the Tŝilhqot’in Nation, comprising six communities in British Columbia's picturesque interior. The film highlights their historical connection to the land and their ongoing battle for recognition of their rights.

The narrative focuses on the legal challenges faced by the Tŝilhqot’in People, particularly following a 2007 Supreme Court of British Columbia decision that only partially acknowledged their land claims. It culminates in the landmark ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2014, which affirmed their full title to their ancestral lands. This film serves as an important visual account of Indigenous rights in Canada and the legal precedents that shape them.
