Resisting Fracking in Mi'kmaqi:
Native & Non-native Coalitions to Protect the Land and Heal our Communities. Bringing the voices of frontline protectors of the land and water in Canada to meet with communities affected by the VT Gas Pipeline here in Vermont.
Eliza Star Child Knockwood is an Independent documentary-maker, frontline activist, mother, and protector of the land. She describes herself as a Youth Bundle-Keeper, with the responsibility of passing on traditional and contemporary knowledge for this generation and the ones yet to come. For the past ten months, she has been directly involved in coalition building between natives and non-natives to protect the land and water of Mi'kmaqi"New Brunswick"from SWN's campaign to frack for natural gas in the area. Eliza and her daughter Jade Knockwood are coming to Vermont to tell the story of community resistance in Mi'kmaq territory, and connect the dots between fracking there, and Vermont Gas' attempt to construct the fracked gas pipeline here in Vermont. Eliza will also be debuting her film Kesalul in Burlington on Wednesday the 19th at the Roxy Cinema at 7 PM. The trailer is available online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQmmt001_1M
