Project Description
The TEK Elders Of The Robinson Huron Treaty
The TEK Elders are a group of Anishinawbek Elders lead by Raymond Owl and Willie Pine and are based in the North Shore, Algoma area. They have engaged local communities, international activists, youth groups, and legal council (including the aid of retired Supreme Court Judge Stephen O’niell) to mobilize and lobby the government to end their arial chemical spraying policy in forest management.
For the last two years we have been supporting the efforts of the TEK to raise awareness of their activities and mandate to halt this activity by capturing public meetings, protests, investigation on the land and other projects through video and producing a documentary profiling these developments.

Having captured community meetings, meetings with MNR and Eacom officials, public demonstrations, water testing and sampling and meetings with internationally renowned environmental activist Vandana Sheeva, we have nearly completed the capture phase of production and are hoping to complete the project by the 2nd quarter of 2020.
Below is a short teaser clip of our work for the TEK.
