United By Water (2017, USA)
“You can flood the path, but we’ll always find our way back.”
The 5 tribes (Colville Confederated Tribes, Couer D'Alene, Kalispel, Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, Spokane) of the Upper Columbia River unite on the water in traditional canoes for the first time since the Grand Coulee Dam flooded their traditional waterways 76 years ago.
Winnipeg Manitoba plays itself in this documentary. Deeply entrenched in the landscape are the growing pains from an aqueduct built in the early 1900’s to feed its water supply. It’s a history that speaks to a dirty truth: The major artery piping clean water to an urban centre has isolated an Anishinaabe community in Treaty 3, robbing them of their own drinking water.
