- A study of the relationship between the First Nations and the Government of Canada. Treaties were created and agreed upon but different governments often took away land from the Indians without compensation. The colonial governments took actions to make the native people be more like us but, as happened in many colonies around the world, that did not happen successfully.—Tom Murray
- In towns throughout Ontario, there are startling reminders of the colonization of Indigenous territories and the displacement of First Nations people. Anishinaabe comedian and activist Ryan McMahon takes us to his hometown of Fort Frances and down its main drag, which is called Colonization Road. Similar streets have similar names in towns and cities across the province, direct reminders of the Public Lands Act of 1853 and its severe impact on First Nations, their treaties and their land in the name of "Canadian settlement." On his journey through Ontario, McMahon explores the history of these roads, meets with settlers in solidarity and raises significant questions about "reconciliation" and what it means to "decolonize."—Decolonization Road Productions Inc.
