In 2013, Texas-based SWN Resources arrived in New Brunswick, Canada to explore for natural gas. The region is known for its forestry, farming and fishing industries, which are both commercial and small-scale subsistence operations that rural communities depend on. In response, a multicultural group of unlikely warriors— including members of the Mi’kmaq Elsipogtog First Nation, French-speaking Acadians and white anglophone families—set up a series of road blockades, sometimes on fire, preventing exploration. After months of resistance, their efforts not only halted drilling; they elected a new government and in 2016 won an indefinite moratorium on fracking in the province. Water Warriors is a production of Storyline, directed and produced by Michael Premo. W A T E R W A R R I O R S 3 WATER WARRIORS SHORT FILM & EXHIBIT Water Warriors is a resource to support organizing, advocacy, movement building, and direct action in response to fossil fuel extraction and environmental injustice. The project also has broader implications for inspiring community action in the face of any number of challenges. It’s been used by Indigenous leaders organizing for environmental protection and in multiracial communities facing the impacts of oil and gas extraction. It holds the potential to bring unlikely allies together to collaborate and move up a ladder of engagement for social justice and environmental protection. However you decide to use Water Warriors, this guide will help you plan a successful event. The 22-minute short film and a scalable exhibition can help create lively, participatory events to deepen civic engagement and strategic discussion. The scalable exhibit has two versions, a full scale gallery show, and a pop-up version. Both are adaptable to a range of spaces. Workshops and facilitated events are available too.

W A T E R W A R R I O R S 4 Share Water Warriors with your community: 1. Host a community screening of the 22 minute short film. 2. Host the exhibition, which combines photographs, large scale video projections, an audio soundscape, and short film. The exhibit can scale to fit different types of spaces. OR DO BOTH! W A T E R W A R R I O R S 5 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WATER WARRIORS Q: Who made the film? A: Water Warriors is an exhibit and short film created by Storyline, an organization dedicated to building power with story and strategy. The project is produced and directed by Michael Premo. Q: How did Storyline get access to the story? A: When we heard about the developing situation we drove to New Brunswick and introduced ourselves to the community. Through a process of introduction we were invited to learn and document the unfolding events. When the situation escalated the water protectors asked journalists to leave the camp, but our team was invited to stay. Q: What was your relationship with the members of the Mi’kmaq Elsipogtog First Nation? A: I [Michael] approach my work as an artist and journalist keenly aware of power and systems of oppression, while also mindful of issues of ethics, accuracy, and sourcing (verifying information from multiple angles). We asked the community of water protectors gathered at the protest sites for permission to document. Community members from the Elsipogtog First Nation hosted us in their homes. Q: Who started the “protests,” and when did they begin? A: The film documents the height of the resistance in the fall of 2013. SWN began information sessions around May 2012. As news spread about the planned exploration and possible drilling, communities and groups began to mobilize independently. Those efforts grew to the point where different groups around the province began communicating and collaborating. W A T E R W A R R I O R S 6 Q: The French Acadian, English speaking, and First Nations’ communities featured in Water Warriors have had historical divides and differences. What steps did they take to address those differences and work together across lines of race and class in this case? A: The common goal of protecting the shared resource of water was a big factor in bringing people together. As people spent time together in shared struggle, they got to know each other, organizing childcare, sharing stories and recipes, and generally being in community with one another. Q: What’s happened since? A: The actions of the water protectors completely shifted the narrative about drilling. The resistance made the issue a political liability for elected officials. The subsequent elections became a referendum on the issue, with the anti-fracking candidate winning. Following the election the provincial (state) government enacted an indefinite moratorium on fracking, arguing that key conditions had not been met by the company and by the previous government. Those conditions include: • A "social license" be established through consultations to lift the moratorium; • Clear and credible information on the impacts on air, health and water so a regulatory regime can be developed; • A plan to mitigate impacts on public infrastructure and address issues such as waste water disposal be established; • A process in place to fulfill the province's obligation to consult with First Nations; • A "proper royalty structure" be established to ensure benefits are maximized for New Brunswickers. Communities remain vigilant to any backtracking on the moratorium and are prepared for what comes next—which might be an attempt to move forward with proposed pipelines. W A T E R W A R R I O R S 7 DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT As the climate changes at an alarming rate, the actions of ordinary people to protect democracy and our natural resources are gaining momentum. The success of movements like #NoKeystoneXL and Standing Rock's fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline assert the importance of meaningful consultation with communities and Indigenous leadership to protect natural resources. Like these fights and many others that haven’t made headlines, Water Warriors affirms the necessity of leadership from Indigenous peoples, who in Canada are, aptly, known as First Nations. Water Warriors captures how a coalition of unlikely warriors triumphed against seemingly insurmountable odds. The story invites us to consider how multiracial solidarity can guide relationships between historically-divided communities and natural ecosystems, from which too many of us remain disconnected. The warriors in this story were fighting to protect their water, but their lessons are applicable to a range of issues related to corporate exploitation and the corruption of democracy. The story demonstrates the power people have when they organize. In this moment, especially, success stories are critical to building power and visionary opposition. It was an honor to be allowed to document this story. I hope that it will fortify and inspire people endeavoring to build a more just and sustainable future. – Michael Premo, Director W A T E R W A R R I O R S 8 HOSTING YOUR SCREENING HOSTING YOUR SCREENING PLAN, SCREEN, ACT! A three-step guide to hosting an effective event. PLAN Order Your Copy Water Warriors is available via streaming, DVD, or Blu-ray at New Day Films: www.newday.com/film/water-warriors Set a Goal Decide what you want your screening to achieve and plan from there. What do you want participants to walk away with? Prioritizing 3 goals can be helpful. Possible examples include, but are not limited to: • Are you trying to attract new members or supporters? • Are you trying to energize your base? • Do you want to discuss what multicultural organizing can look like? • Do you want to help your community better understand the threat of fossil fuel extraction/transportation/usage in your area? • Do you want your constituents to understand how direct action/civil disobedience tactics fit in your strategy? Partner Up Reach out to other groups in your area to find co-hosts and potential panelists. Hosting a screening event is a great way to collaborate with other people and organizations. A big theme of Water Warriors is the importance of breaking down W A T E R W A R R I O R S 9 barriers between communities to build power together. Perhaps there is a group or organization that you’ve been wanting to work with more intentionally, develop a better relationship with, or strengthen existing relationships with.

    The Dispossession of the Míkmaq Indians from Chignecto to Elsipogtog1: A Case Study Analysis of the Health Determinants of the Physical Environment by Patrick J. Augustine A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous and Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2021, Patrick J. Augustine 1 The community uses the Pacifique orthography, while the Francis-Smith system spells it L’sipuktuk (Sable & Francis, 2012). Abstract Traditionally, the Míkmaq enjoyed an interconnected relationship with the land, harvesting what they needed from the earth and the ocean, guided by the concept of Netukulimk, the practice of sustainability. Upon the arrival of European settlers, new trade practices were introduced, and what was once plentiful was quickly depleted. Although the original inhabitants were assured that their lands would be protected by agreements and treaties, these assurances proved to be false, and the traditional relationship with the land was threatened, as the Míkmaq—presaging the fate of most Indigenous Peoples in Canada—were dispossessed of their historical lands and forced to live on reserves; many of them far away from the environments to which they had had biological and spiritual ties. Land is central to our understanding of current Indigenous health issues; centering around how the Míkmaq traditionally employed land and resources, what changes in that relationship were brought about by colonization, and how their removal to reserves influenced their relationship vis-à-vis their environment. In addressing the ways that land policies, post-first contact, were developed and implemented over time, it is possible and necessary to juxtapose that history with the story of the forced mobilization of the Míkmaq and examine the effects that the dispossession of land had upon their livelihood and economic activity.

  • 5 Traditional Land and Resource Use
    CA PDF Page 1 of 70 Energy East Project Part E: New Brunswick Volume 16: Socio-Economic Effects Assessment Section 5: Traditional Land and Resource Use This section was not updated in 2015. Figures referencing the Project description have been updated to reflect the removal of a marine terminal in Québec. However, the analysis of effects is still valid. This TLRU assessment is supported by Volume 25, which contains information gathered through TLRU studies completed by participating Aboriginal groups, oral traditional evidence and TLRU-specific results of Energy East’s aboriginal engagement program from April 19, 2014 to December 31, 2015. The list of First Nation and Métis communities and organizations engaged and reported on is undergoing constant revision throughout the discussions between Energy East and potentially affected Aboriginal groups. Information provided through these means relates to Project effects and cumulative effects on traditional land and resource use, and recommendations for mitigating effects, as identified by participating Aboriginal groups. The most relevant information for this section is Volume 25 for Woodlands ecoregion, which reviews additional TRLU information identifies proposed measures to mitigate potential effects of the Project on TRLU features, activities, or sites identified, as appropriate. The TLRU information provided in Volume 25 reflects Project design changes that occurred in 2015. 5 TRADITIONAL LAND AND RESOURCE USE Traditional land and resource use (TLRU)1 was selected as a valued component (VC) due to the potential for the Project to affect traditional activities, sites and resources identified by Aboriginal communities. Project Aboriginal engagement activities and the review of existing literature (see Appendix 5A.2) confirmed the potential for Project effects on TLRU.

Beginning of animation: End of animation: For thousands of generations, Wabanaki people have lived across what is now northern New England, the Canadian Maritimes, and Quebec. The arrival of Europeans more than 500 years ago began a process of dramatic and destructive loss that continues today. Much of the Wabanaki homeland was taken through a series of treaties, negotiated between various Wabanaki groups and the French, English, Massachusetts, Maine, and United States governments. Wabanaki and non-Native signatories often had very different ideas and interpretations of what they had agreed to. Wabanaki communities today are working to protect what remains, and to assert their sovereign rights in their homeland, for future generations.
