Time Immemorial

Synopsis

For over a century, the Nisga'a people of northwestern B.C. have fought for title over their traditional lands. Their determined and persistent lobbying has propelled the issue of Native land claims into the mainstream political arena. Archival material and interviews recount the clash of cultures over four generations and retrace the steps that carried the Nisga'a's case to the Supreme Court of Canada. This is a film about the history of the Nisga’a, but also a chance to follow the determination of a First Nation to be heard and recognised for who they are, and where they are.

1991, 60 min
