Presented alongside banners in the Blackwood Gallery, three videos by Onaman Collective form part of #Resistance150, a project “intended to highlight the many ways Indigenous peoples have historically resisted, and continue to resist, what many see as discriminatory and assimilationist policies of the Canadian government, such as those regarding pipeline construction, access to drinking water, and child welfare funding gaps. Perhaps most importantly, the Indian Act itself."[3]

I Am Not a Number captures Elder Mary Wemigans of Wikemikong First Nation cutting up her status card in a symbolic gesture, and rejecting the Canadian state and the oppressive laws of the Indian Act by doing so. Nimkii Aazhibikong showcases an Ojibway language immersion camp for youth, which is working towards producing the next generation of fluent speakers on the land. For the Water features Autumn Peltier, a 12-year old Anishinaabe girl from Wikemikong, and her call to join protestors fighting the Dakota Access Pipeline on December 5, 2016 at non across Turtle Island:

I am just a kid. 12 years old. And I shouldn’t be worrying about adults’ problems. Kids all over the world have to pay for mistakes we didn’t even make. This is our future. We are the next Elders. We are the next leaders. This is our future. I cry watching videos of Standing Rock and knowing that we shouldn’t have to fight for our water, we should just be able to have clean drinking water. We are only given one planet and we are destroying it. It’s not just in North America where we need the clean drinking water. It’s all over the world. I want to know that my great grandchildren and my children are able to have clean drinking water and they won’t have to worry about having clean water. They should just have it. I want us to stand together and we are going to shut down all the highways in North America for a whole hour on December 5th. I am inviting everyone to join us. Bring your shaker, bring your drums, bring your vessels, bring your feathers. Let’s pray together.
