0:00:11.342,0:00:13.812
[ soft melodic music begins... ]
0:00:22.830,0:00:25.751
[ sound of running stream... ]
0:00:25.751,0:00:28.547
[ singing... ]
0:00:51.121,0:00:53.045
...you believe they unlocked their drill,
0:00:53.045,0:00:56.185
and they don't even have that, uh, spill tray...
0:00:56.185,0:00:58.110
[ laughter ]
0:01:05.389,0:01:09.492
i'm sick and tired of the Provincial government,
0:01:09.492,0:01:12.188
_______ country.
0:01:12.188,0:01:17.039
Sick and tired of the Mining Act, it rules the world.
0:01:36.322,0:01:37.945
Shut 'er down, boys!
0:01:37.945,0:01:40.779
Call your helicopter, ...
0:01:59.464,0:02:03.046
[ a little laughter and indistinguishable talking ]
0:02:09.771,0:02:16.108
[ RCMP officer ] What i'm wondering is, was your plan to disrupt the drill crew from their work?
0:02:16.108,0:02:19.237
[ Klabona Keeper ] No! The drill crew is disrupting us from our life.
0:02:19.237,0:02:21.139
We're just out here being ourselves,
0:02:21.139,0:02:23.967
like we've done for 10,000 years.
0:02:23.967,0:02:28.211
And they're chasing all the game away with their choppers,
0:02:28.211,0:02:30.535
I mean, like, this is not our life,
0:02:30.535,0:02:35.207
to be out here having a confrontation with people from Ontario,
0:02:35.207,0:02:38.837
never mind having the RCMP guarding and watching everything that you do out here.
0:02:38.837,0:02:40.240
This is not our life.
0:02:40.240,0:02:42.504
Our life is peaceful out here.
0:02:42.504,0:02:46.667
Our life is to come out here and enjoy, [br]and eat our food and go home.
0:02:46.667,0:02:49.509
There's some of the people [br]have been here for one month.
0:02:49.509,0:02:53.145
[ RCMP officer ] Yes, we've been here for a month.
0:02:53.145,0:02:54.982
i know most of these people...
0:02:54.982,0:02:58.587
[ Klabona Keeper ] ... our camps used to... street right over there...
0:02:58.587,0:03:00.319
used to be able to come out into this open,
0:03:00.319,0:03:02.945
sometimes we'd be lucky... see something...
0:03:02.945,0:03:05.914
come out now and there's a drill.
0:03:05.914,0:03:09.216
right where we hunted,
0:03:09.977,0:03:11.541
We're not doing anything wrong.
0:03:11.541,0:03:13.379
They're doing something wrong.
0:03:13.379,0:03:14.683
They're wrong.
0:03:14.683,0:03:16.148
We're not wrong.
0:03:16.148,0:03:19.145
[ RCMP officer ] i know, well the discussion that i had with the people before,
0:03:19.145,0:03:21.207
and we're not, we're not here...
0:03:21.207,0:03:22.580
i mean you can say what you want...
0:03:22.580,0:03:25.507
but we're not here to guard Fortune Minerals.
0:03:25.507,0:03:27.877
We're not here to guard the Beauty Camp.
0:03:27.877,0:03:33.108
We're here to make sure that everybody has a right to do what they legally are entitled to do, right?
0:03:33.108,0:03:35.445
Now, you guys have a right to be here,
0:03:35.445,0:03:37.345
you guys have a right to protest here.
0:03:37.345,0:03:40.577
i'm not trying to tell you what you can or can't do.
0:03:40.577,0:03:46.797
However, um, Fortune Minerals, as you know, has a permit that was issued by the BC Government, right?
0:03:46.797,0:03:50.637
To do their environmental assessment work that they're doing.
0:03:50.637,0:03:55.510
So for you guys to protest that work is fine,
0:03:55.510,0:04:04.141
if it stops them from doing the work that they're doing, then it's not longer a peaceful protest, right?
0:04:07.084,0:04:10.190
[ Klabona Keeper ] So who gave them the right to be here?
0:04:10.190,0:04:11.911
[ RCMP officer ] The Province of British Columbia.
0:04:11.911,0:04:14.360
[ Klabona Keeper ] The Province of British Columbia has this territory occupied,
0:04:14.360,0:04:16.640
it's no different than the Gaza Strip.
0:04:16.640,0:04:19.212
In Israel.
0:04:19.212,0:04:21.021
This land has never been treatied,
0:04:21.021,0:04:25.752
only 8% of this land down in the Lower Mainland has been treatied by the Douglas Treaties.
0:04:25.752,0:04:27.243
Otherwise, it's all occupied.
0:04:27.243,0:04:29.651
You're walking on occupied territory.
0:04:29.651,0:04:30.903
So who has the right?
0:04:30.903,0:04:32.347
We have the right.
0:04:32.347,0:04:35.116
Our land has never been treatied.
0:04:35.116,0:04:36.979
It's been occupied.
0:04:36.979,0:04:38.520
And it's still occupied.
0:04:38.520,0:04:40.673
[ RCMP officer ] im not questioning your guys' right to be here...
0:04:40.673,0:04:43.711
[ Klabona Keeper ] Well if you're talking about rights, we're talking about all rights.
0:04:43.711,0:04:47.305
We can't be specific and only talk about rights that suit your rights.
0:04:47.305,0:04:48.549
[ RCMP officer ] They're not my rights.
0:04:48.549,0:04:50.975
[ Klabona Keeper ] They are your rights, you're Canadian.
0:04:50.975,0:04:51.956
They're not my rights.
0:04:51.956,0:04:54.842
i'm a colonial subject of your government.
0:04:54.842,0:04:56.069
[ RCMP officer ] OK.
0:04:56.069,0:04:58.873
[ Klabona Keeper ] We have no rights according to your colonial laws,
0:04:58.873,0:05:00.007
but our rights...
0:05:00.007,0:05:07.009
the problem is the government got too lazy to treaty this land and to do treaties on this land...
0:05:07.009,0:05:09.952
so therefore, it gives us the rights.
0:05:09.952,0:05:13.177
We've been here 10,000 years.
0:05:13.177,0:05:17.943
[ another of the Klabona Keepers ] If i was to go and disrupt a resident hunter while he's hunting,
0:05:17.943,0:05:21.345
i could get charged.
0:05:21.345,0:05:24.549
These guys are disrupting our hunting,
0:05:24.549,0:05:26.597
nothing happens.
0:05:32.238,0:05:35.838
You know, when they're out here [br]disturbing our lifestyle
0:05:35.838,0:05:39.820
that we've maintained for 10,000 years [br]on occupied territory,
0:05:39.820,0:05:43.679
why aren't you standing here telling them they're wrong?
0:05:44.047,0:05:46.136
They're wrong, we're not wrong.
0:05:46.136,0:05:47.336
The bottom line is they're wrong,
0:05:47.336,0:05:49.467
and i could argue with all of you.
0:05:49.467,0:05:52.174
[ RCMP officer ] i know, but we wouldn't, we wouldn't solve anything by you and i arguing...
0:05:52.174,0:05:56.239
[ Klabona Keeper ] You are not solving anything by coming in confronting us for exercising our rights,
0:05:56.239,0:05:57.938
and leaving them alone.
0:05:57.938,0:05:59.183
[ RCMP officer ] i don't think that we are...
0:05:59.183,0:06:01.173
[ Klabona Keeper ] ...so it doesn't take an idiot... you can tell a child...
0:06:01.173,0:06:05.170
y'know, we're gonna allow those guys to disrupt you guys over there,
0:06:05.170,0:06:07.037
and we're not gonna confront them.
0:06:07.037,0:06:08.928
But if you go over there, we're gonna confront you.
0:06:08.928,0:06:10.874
What do you think that child will think?
0:06:10.874,0:06:13.173
You think i'm a child?
0:06:13.173,0:06:17.470
i mean, it's common sense [br]that you're not here for us.
0:06:17.470,0:06:20.995
Y'know, don't kid me, i'm not stupid.
0:06:21.439,0:06:25.219
Tell me somethin that's real [br]and we'd have a good conversation.
0:06:25.219,0:06:27.268
But if you want to tell me something like that,
0:06:27.268,0:06:31.567
i can't rationalize in my head, [br]and still have to accept?
0:06:31.567,0:06:34.443
Why? Because it's a lie.
0:06:34.528,0:06:36.718
[ RCMP officer ] i didn't come here, i didn't come here to have an argument...
0:06:36.718,0:06:38.861
[ Klabona Keeper ] then don't come here to tell me bullshit.
0:06:38.861,0:06:39.882
[ RCMP officer ] i'm not telling you bullshit...
0:06:39.882,0:06:41.495
[ Klabona Keeper ] You are.
0:06:41.495,0:06:42.553
i mean, why aren't you harassing them
0:06:42.553,0:06:45.162
when they're here drilling and disturbing us?
0:06:45.162,0:06:49.580
But if we come out to resist -- [br]we're resisting, we're not protesting,
0:06:49.580,0:06:52.650
we're resisting the colonial situation.
0:06:52.650,0:06:55.552
And then we get confronted.
0:06:55.552,0:07:01.059
While the colonizers from Ontario can sit on that drill and destroy our land,
0:07:01.059,0:07:02.993
and they get no confrontation.
0:07:02.993,0:07:04.661
So when you come out and tell me that
0:07:04.661,0:07:07.155
"oh this is just hunky dory, everything's fine",
0:07:07.155,0:07:09.295
and i'm supposed to walk away and believe it?
0:07:09.295,0:07:10.882
Then you insult me.
0:07:10.882,0:07:14.983
[ RCMP officer ] Well, we'll have a record... of what was said, i'm sure.
0:07:14.983,0:07:19.722
[ Klabona Keeper ] ... is it going to get anywhere, the record of what's been said?
0:07:19.722,0:07:20.789
[ RCMP officer ] i don't know.
0:07:20.789,0:07:22.581
[ Klabona Keeper ] Don't insult my intelligence.
0:07:22.581,0:07:26.974
[ RCMP officer ] You're... i'm not sayin' what you're hearin'.
0:07:26.974,0:07:28.883
[ Klabona Keeper ] i'm hearing what i'm hearing,
0:07:28.883,0:07:34.078
while i'm laying on my land confronted by the RCMP because i'm laying on my land,
0:07:34.078,0:07:37.215
with a drill rig right behind you.
0:07:37.215,0:07:39.415
You know?
0:07:39.415,0:07:41.979
And you feed me this? Give me a break.
0:07:41.979,0:07:45.573
[ RCMP officer ] i'm not feedin' you anything, i'm just askin' you what's goin' on.
0:07:45.702,0:07:47.630
[ Klabona Keeper ] i told you what's goin' on.
0:07:47.630,0:07:52.259
We just don't need all the flare... that's supposed to distract...
0:07:56.129,0:08:04.604
[ RCMP officer ] OK...
0:08:04.604,0:08:06.604
well maybe we'll join your picnic (did he really just say "picnic"??? )
0:08:06.604,0:08:07.672
[ Klabona Keeper ] Join in.
