    The landback movement isn’t just about getting land back. It’s more than that. It’s a reclamation of culture too.

    canadaLANDBACK is a co-production by Canada’s National Observer and Canadaland.

    The landback movement isn’t just about getting land back. It’s more than that. It’s a reclamation of culture too. 

    We take a deeper dive into Indigenous versus Canadian law, examine how Canada is hoarding land.

    Our guests are Métis artist, activist and thinker Christi Belcourt and Anishinaabe artist and knowledge keeper Issac Murdoch, who took land back and established the culture camp Nimkii Aazhibikong.

    Onaman Collective is formed by artists Christi Belcourt and Isaac Murdoch https://onamancollective.com/who-we-are/

    Reclamation At Stoney Point – Part Two
    In part two: After a peaceful reclamation of the army base built on their land in 1993, elders of Stoney Point lead a movement to take back Ipperwash Provincial Park, which was also part of their original land and contained a burial ground.
