About this Event

Join us for the Screening of Ellen Gabriel's Kanàtenhs - When the Pine Needles Fall!

Experience this powerful film in person at Salle J.A. de Sève.

Kanien'kehaka artist and activist Ellen Gabriel became the first Indigenous artist to win the Grand Prix of the Conseils des arts de Montréal for this work in April 2024. The film recounts the 1990 "Mohawk Crisis' (the siege of Kanehsatà:ke) from the perspective of Indigenous women land defenders.

The event is co-sponsored by Academics for Palestine-Concordia (A4P), the Social Justice Center; the Concordia Student Union (CSU) and the Art History Decolonial Action Group (AHDAG).
