On this day, 11 June 1981, the first of two violent raids by Québec police took place on the Listuguj (Restigouche) reserve of the Miꞌgmaq First Nations people. Officers in full riot gear attacked the reserve, while 35 boatloads of game wardens came ashore to shut down fishing by Mi'gmaq people. During the first raid police seized 100 fishing nets, arrested nine people and was accused of brutally beating others, like fisherman Randy Morrison, who reportedly stated: "I was trying to get out of the way of a group of policemen. A group of them grabbed, handcuffed, and then beat me with their sticks." On June 20, police returned, blockading the area and firing rubber bullets and tear gas. While the government claimed to be acting for conservation reasons, at the same time as shutting down salmon fishing by First Nations people, increasing oil exploration on Indigenous land was continuing apace. At the time there was speculation that the raids were to assert Québec's control of salmon fishing as a precursor to potential independence. Clashes continued in the aftermath of the raids, with two Indigenous people shot by police and another reserve raided by a mob of white Canadians who destroyed a Native salmon net. The second raids were filmed in a landmark documentary by Indigenous director Alanis Obomsawin in her film, Incident at Restigouche.

Headcanons about the Blythe kids? 🫢

Oh, man! Not really, I’m afraid! Meager ones, only.

Jem was taller than Anne at age 9. He was taller than Gilbert by 13.

Walter’s handwritten copy of the poem ‘the Piper’ had the line “keep the Faith,” which might’ve looked like a curiously mistaken case of a capitalized F (it was not), and so it’s double meaning was lost when published. And probably for the best.

When Shirley returns from war, he goes on to marry a Mi'gmaq girl.

Rilla and Ken cause a bit of a scandal and divorce after their kids attend University.

October 2024 Ahhhhgenda

For past Spooptober Scarathons I sort of wing it. I store up memories of movies and shows I want to watch all year, then hunt them up each day as I go. This year, I thought it would be fun to lay them out ahead of me, choosing one each calendar day. If nothing else, it will save me some time pouring through my Shudder queue!

I'll start with one that I hope will be on the list, but may not be. I'm a huge fan of the Terrifier series, and this year we get the third movie in the theaters! There's some chance I won't get to go to the theater, so we'll see, but that's my hope!

Here's the list in no particular order, with a rephrased synopsis and which service/method I intend to use to watch.

Destroy All Neighbors (Shudder) A prog rock oriented horror movie? OK!

Terrifier 3 (Theater) I haven’t read the synopsis, because trying to fathom a plot involving Art the Clown is a bit like pondering the existence of free will.

Mean Spirited (Shudder) An influencer goes on vacation and gets a demon.

YellowBrickRoad (Shudder) A town’s population disappears and “intrepid” (that’s a horror euphemism for “victim”) explorers go to find them. Seems like a horror take on OZ, which I also enjoy.

Let the Wrong One In (Shudder) A little brother turns into a vampire and the protagonist must make a choice.

Late Night with the Devil (Shudder) A rival to Carson ends up unleashing a hell on late night watchers.

The Pale Door (Shudder) Failed train robbers hide out in a ghost town and encounter some witches.

Blood Quantum (Shudder) There’s a zombie apocalypse, but for some reason the Mi'gmaq tribe are immune and must now survive.

Blood Relatives (Shudder) An old Yiddish vampire meets his possible daughter.

Hellbender (Shudder) Izzy was raised in isolation by her Mom, and once free to explore the world finds out something dark about herself.

Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island (Hulu) Didn’t read the synopsis… But I know what Fantasy Island is. And what Blumhouse is ;)

Bad Hair (Hulu) A woman gets a weave and… It attacks?

Down (Hulu) People trapped on an elevator turn out to be terrible.

Wounds (Hulu) A bartender picks up a phone someone left behind.

The Seeding (Hulu) A man lost in the wilderness seeks refuge with a stranger, then finds out she’s not there willingly or alone.

Mr. Harrigan’s Phone (Netflix) Some connections never die, apparently.

Eli (Netflix) A young boy undergoes some horrifying medical procedure

Insidious: The Red Door (Netflix) A demon haunts a family. Which, honestly… I guess “Insidious” sort of gave that away, eh?

Out of Darkness (Paramount+) 45,000 years ago some people are stranded on an island.

Jennifer’s Body (Hulu) Jennifer has some less than savory tendencies after an occult run-in. I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen this, but I wanted to watch it just in case, as there’s another movie in the same setting on this list.

Lisa Frankenstein (Amazon Prime Video) Lisa’s boyfriend is dead… But that won’t stop her.

Stopmotion (Amazon Prime Video) A stop motion animator has an experience

Arcadian (Amazon Prime Video) Nic Cage defending his family at the end of the world.

I Saw The TV Glow (MAX) Owen is introduced to scary stuff by his friends, and his reality cracks

In a Violent Nature (Amazon Prime Video) The victim of an ancient crime is resurrected to visit vengeance against trespassing teens.

A Quiet Place: Day One (Paramount+) The world goes quiet… Spooky.

X (Paramount+) Someone tries to make an adult film, and it doesn’t go well

Pearl (Shudder or Netflix) Set in 1918 a lonely farm girl goes to extremes for fame

Oddity (Shudder) A blind psychic’s twin is murdered and now she’s back to make it right…

Divinity (Shudder) Two brothers abduct a mogul and things get weird

Suitable Flesh (Hulu) A psychiatrist becomes a murderer and the story unfolds as to why that has to happen

Know a movie I have to watch that isn't on this list? Let me know in the next two days! Or, hell, any time in the next 31. Anything goes up to the last day, so I'm open to suggestions.

Indigenous Resistance Through Film

Obomsawin reimages Indigeneity through the medium of filmmaking. Following the lives of Indigenous people across “Canada,” and taking a particular interest in their struggle for sovereignty and state recognition, Obomsawin renegotiates the objective, omnipotent presence of the documentary filmmaker and rather positions herself within the struggle, centering Indigenous culture, history, and experiences as the argument, evidence, and conclusion of her films. Therefore, her work contests twofold; firstly the ways in which documentary filmmaking as a medium has been used in the colonial sense to control public perception/understanding of a certain event, people, or history, and secondly, the subject matter of her films — seminal Indigenous issues and events in Canada — expose the continuous colonial violence that is enacted upon by all levels of government towards Indigenous people, whilst challenging official histories and narratives about Canada’s relationship with Indigenous people. Her films continue to see what the rest of the county cannot see, or chooses to ignore.

Obomsawin’s filmmaking practice begins with listening. Often, before any second that is caught on camera, she will go into the community that she is working with alone, without a crew or a camera, and engage in conversation and daily life. She insists on building relationships and connections first, attentive to witnessing before any act of producing. Her participatory style of filmmaking adapts the didactic documentary tradition. Obomsawin appears in all of her films, seated in homes interviewing subjects, engaging with children in schools, or barricaded behind the lines during a resistance. You will often hear her voice encouraging subjects during interviews, or laughing with a group. Her presence throughout the films reminds viewers of her intimate, intrinsic connection to the subject matter — as an Indigenous woman she is just as much shaped and informed by the events, communities, and histories that she documents. 

The subject matter of Obomsawin’s films speak to the ongoing effects of settler colonialism, genocide, persecution, and state surveillance of Indigenous people. Incident at Restigouche (1984) follows the raids on the Listuguj Mi'gmaq First Nation by the Quebec provincial police, as an effort of imposing restrictions on their fishing rights, Richard Cardinal: Cry from a Diary of a Métis Child (1986) is a devastating examination of Canada's child welfare system in regards to the (mis)treatment of Indigenous children and youth, and the harm that the system causes. Christmas at Moose Factory (1971), her first feature-length film, is filmed at a residential school in northern Ontario around Christmas time, Hi-Ho Mistahey! (2013) follows the campaign Shannen’s Dream, which lobbies for improved educational opportunities for Indigenous youth, and examines the on-going impacts of the lack of proper education for Indigenous youth, and Our People Will Be Healed (2017) profiles the Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre in Norway House Cree Nation, the structure of the school, offering a vision for what Indigenous based education could look like in the future, whilst recognizing the challenges the school is facing today.

Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance (1993) documents the Kanehsatà:ke Resistance/Oka Crisis and is the most well known of Obomsawin’s films. Had it not been for Obomsawin and her crew documenting 250 hours worth of footage behind the barricade, in standoff with the military, and at the end of resistance, the public memory of this event would have been shaped solely by one-sided government press releases, limited CBC reporting, and Prime Minister Mulroney asserting that the Mohawk warriors were dangerous criminals with illegal weapons. Emotive, intense moments behind the barricade, articulated through interviews with individual Mohawk warriors, offer a closer account of the events instead. Obomsawin’s uncompromising and partisan view of what occurred at the Oka golf course gave way for Mohawk historical narratives to be re-articulated and Indigenous efforts for self-determination to be legitimised.

Horror Sangrento - Filmes Online Fácil

Os mortos estão voltando à vida fora da reserva isolada Mi'gmaq de Corvo Vermelho, exceto por seus habitantes indígenas que são imunes à peste zumbi. Traylor, o xerife tribal, deve proteger a namorada grávida de seu filho, refugiados apocalípticos, e reservar riff raff das hordas de cadáveres brancos ambulantes.

[tlatollotl]

In Blood Quantum, the dead are coming back to life outside the isolated Mi’gMaq reserve of Red Crow, except for its indigenous inhabitants who are immune to the zombie plague. A tribal sheriff must protect his son’s pregnant girlfriend, apocalyptic refugees, and other members of the reserve from the hordes of walking white corpses. Above is a first look image from the movie.

Directed and written by Mi’gmaq filmmaker Jeff Barnaby, the movie stars Fear The Walking Dead and True Detective actor Michael Greyeyes,  Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (On the Farm) and Forrest Goodluck (The Revenant), and was produced by John Christou for Prospector Films and Rob Vroom. Madrona Drive will also executive produce.

The film recently wrapped shoot in Montreal, Canada and the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory as well as Barnaby’s hometown of Listuguj, Quebec. XYZ is set to screen a promo in Cannes.

The project is Barnaby’s sophomore feature film following Rhymes For Young Ghouls. Elevation Pictures will distribute in Canada, while Entract Films will distribute the film in Quebec. Bell Media’s Crave has the first-window broadcast rights in Canada. Financing was provided by Telefilm Canada, SODEC, Canadian Media Fund, and The Harold Greenberg Fund.

XYZ’s Cannes slate also includes Lorcan Finnegan’s Vivarium, which will have its world premiere in Critics’ Week, Joe Penna’s Stowaway, starring Anna Kendrick and Toni Collette, Benson & Moorhead’s Synchronic starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan, Richard Stanley’s Color Out Of Space starring Nicolas Cage, and Jim Taihuttu’s The East with Marwan Kenzari and Martijn Lakemeier.

I met Erik Gosselin a while back. I met him and his wife during a guided tour. He is part of the makeup department for this movie. We got to talking about horror films. He said Jeff Barnaby was making another horror film. He was doing the special effects and prosthetics. I was losing my mind with excitement. I'm mi'kmaq and a massive horror fan and was giving a guided tour about our culture and how we lived in the past. So I was thrilled! It was filmed in Listuguj about 4 hours away from me. I am so excited for this! Can't wait to watch. Definitely give it a watch guys!

There is a horror movie that either just came out or is soon and it’s called Blood Quantum. It’s an all native cast and it’s about the zombie apocalypse. Basically a reservation and the natives living there are unaffected and they have to fend off crazy white people trying to take it from them

“Blood Quantum is a Canadian horror film, directed by Jeff Barnaby and released in 2019. The film depicts the effects of a zombie uprising on a First Nations reserve whose residents are personally immune to the plague because of their indigenous heritage, but must still cope with the consequences of its effects on the world around them, including a wave of white refugees seeking shelter on the reserve.

The film’s cast includes Michael Greyeyes, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, Forrest Goodluck, Kiowa Gordon, Brandon Oakes, Olivia Scriven, Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs and Gary Farmer. The film was shot in 2018, primarily at the Kahnawake and Listuguj reserves in Quebec and the City of Campbellton in New Brunswick.

Barnaby describes the film as a comment on colonialism.“

From the wikipedia page. This looks really interesting with a lot of potential and a great cast. The director himself is Mi’kmaq. I can’t find many reviews for it or even information about whether it’s been officially released (it was shown at the Toronto International Filk Festival in September) though.

Unfortunately, as I’ve mentioned before, I CANNOT handle horror. At all. But if any of my followers can, definitely check this film out!

Jeff Barnaby, director/writer for Rhymes For Young Ghouls, is creating a VR project:

“  December 24, 2167. Global warming has turned most of the planet into a desert. State surveillance is constant. The affluent have retreated into walled cities. Refugees live on the outside, hungry and desperate. In this BETA version of the Tegs’g VR experience, step into the shoes of Sora, an expert people smuggler who is the refugees’ only hope for a better life. “

Repose en paix, Henri Membertou.  The first Native leader to be baptised by the French, Membertou remembered meeting both Jacques Cartier and Samuel de Champlain in his younger years, making him at least a centenarian (and probably solidly in his mid-100s) at the time of his death on this date in 1611.

Stamp details: Issued on: July 26, 2007 From: Ottawa, Canada MC #2421

[vampyrefay]

I suggest if anyone wants a movie showing some of the horrors of residential schools to watch Rhymes for young ghouls

Its set in 1976 in a fictional Mi'gmaq reservation here in canada and its about a teenage girl whos family lives through the aftermath of residential abuse before she is forced to go herself, she gets her revenge in the end but it is a extremely well written movie about how the government and church hate us and how it causes generational trauma.

Warning though for substance abuse, suicide, sexual assult, child abuse, anti indigenous racism and child death.

Bonus, every native character and 99% of the crew are all actually native no playing todo.

'I miss him dearly': Family, friends still seek closure for man missing for a decade

It's been almost 10 years since Chris Metallic went missing.

The 20-year-old Mount Allison University student was reported missing on Nov. 25, 2012, a day after he left a house party in downtown Sackville, N.B.

Footwear belonging to Metallic was found a few days later off Haute-Aboujagane Road, roughly 16 kilometres from the party, but nothing else was found.

Spencer Isaac was a freshman at Mount Allison at the time of his older brother's disappearance.

He says he tries not to let his imagination run wild when thinking about what happened.

"Personally, I do feel like somebody knows something and it's sitting with them after 10 years, it's still with them and not being shared. At this point, whatever it is that somebody knows, it does them no good to hold on to that,.”

Metallic's mother has been fundraising from her home in Listuguj Mi'gmaq First Nation in Quebec for new billboards with her missing son's picture on them to put up in Sackville.

Mandy Metallic says the first five years were the worst, but she's learned to live with not knowing what happened, or where her son is.

"I don't feel he's alive. You always want to have that hope, but it's kind of known. I'm not giving up hope of finding him. I believe he's still in the woods there somewhere," she says.

The RCMP told CTV News on Tuesday that it's still an active missing persons case, but Metallic's disappearance is not considered suspicious and foul play is not suspected.

Isaac says he has moved forward with his life, but there will always be a part of him frozen in time.

"It stays at me being 18-years-old when he went missing and not knowing what happened," said Isaac. "If he's found, however he's found, I'm hoping that can be the end of that chapter."

Metallic's former roommate Daniel Legere says talking about his disappearance triggers emotions inside of him due to the lack of closure.

"No one really knows what happened and it's made it much harder to work through emotionally,” he says.

Issac was close to his brother and called him a funny, athletic person with a passion for video games and comic books.

"He was a really was a special guy and I miss him dearly each day," he says.

Mount Allison's office of Indigenous Affairs will hold two ceremonies to honour Metallic later this month. On Nov. 24, a traditional sweat is scheduled on campus and a sacred fire will take place in Metallic's memory the next day. Both events will take place at the university's outdoor Indigenous Gathering Space.

This Place from Highwater Press This book is an graphic novel-anthology (for adults and YA) of ten stories of First Nation people, based on the history of indigenous tribes in Canada, including the Ashinaabe, Cree, Ojibway, Inuit, Métis, Mi'gmaq, Kanien'kehaka, Nisga'a, and more. The powerful stories explore the many ways in which the people resisted colonialism and came together, even through horrendous violence and atrocities committed against them, to stand with and for each other, protecting each other and advocating for justice. The stories begin in 1850 and continue up to the present - including the future, in one speculative fiction piece. The stories feature many historical leaders, including Annie Bannatyne, who stood up against disparaging articles written about Métis women, Francis Pegahmabow, a WWI sniper who fought valiantly for a country that refused to recognize him as a person, Chief Frank Tseleie, who spoke powerfully defending against the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline, and Ellen Gabriel, who fought against laws which refused to recognize the rights of Indigenous people. And besides these leaders, the experiences of First Nations people on everyday life are also explored, including the perspectives of two children stolen from their parents and home by residential schools, people who fought against the government's prohibition of generous potlach ceremonies, fisherpeople fighting against government control, and members of the DAPL Standing Rock protests. I learned so much from these stories and also realized how much I still have to learn. #firstnations #firstnationspeople #indigenouslivesmatter #diversebooks #graphicnovels #socialjusticebooks #decolonizeyourbookshelf #anthology #disrupttexts https://www.instagram.com/p/CDO1bNAHLXV/?igshid=11tc6g346mj9n
