***Please forward widely, poster attached***

You are cordially invited to join Grand River 
Indigenous Solidarity (GRIS) for Reclaiming Kanonhstaton (The Protected 
Place) Documentary Film Night. We will be featuring 
the raw footage documentary Day Zero, two other short films, and will be hosting various speakers from Six Nations of the Grand River to   
discuss the films, the resistance/resurgence movement at Six Nations, and the ongoing battle 
against land development and colonisation. 

On February 28, 2006, a group of Haudenosaunee (Six Nations) women 
blockaded Highway 6 near Caledonia, Ontario to prevent a housing 
development on unceded Six Nations territory. The ensuing land 
reclamation sparked a new wave of Indigenous resistance in Southern 
Ontario that many would call the new “Oka”. The 
resulting reclamation led to Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to conduct a raid at dawn on April 20, 2006, to forcibly remove the land defenders 
from the housing development formerly known as the Douglas Creek 
Estates. Day Zero chronicles this daylight raid in a raw footage 
documentary and the beginning of the blockade of Highway 6 into 
Caledonia. Two subsequent short films will chronicle the current legal, political, and cultural battles facing Six Nations defenders at 
Kanonhstaton as they face continued harassment and intimidation from 
white citizens' councils in Caledonia and from the police and courts.
