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. </span></span></span><br><br></span></span><span><span><span><span><span>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”.</span></span></span> 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. <br><br>Details: <br><br>Reclaiming Kanonhstaton (The Protected Place) Video and Discussion Night with Land Defenders<br> Princess Twin Cinema (</span></span><span><span><span><span>46 King Street North, Waterloo,
