Once a lifeline for the Stellat’en and Saik’uz Nations, the Nechako River in northwestern BC was diminished when the Kenney Dam diverted 70% of its waters, displacing the Cheslatta T’En, and disrupting wildlife, land, and culture. Through stories of resistance and resilience, Nechako reveals a decades-long fight for justice and renewal. Screening followed by a special talk-back with Lyana Patrick. Presented in partnership with SFU, with film provided courtesy of the NFB.
