Mato White Plume said, "A lasting impression this film left was the shared themes of systemic confinement, and the resistance against it. Seeing these two histories laid side by side like that, it clicks. It makes the regimes of control and displacement undeniable. It was for sure heavy, but the kind of heavy that fuels the flame for liberation."

"The most powerful was witnessing the raw acts of resistance," said Mato White Plume, Organizer for Moccasins On The Move.

MNN. THE SERPENTS ARE TRYING TO RETURN. WE ARE STOPPING THEM.  Nov. 24, 2025. McGill University Law School.

We are here on the land of the Kaniekehaka Mohawks at the foot of Mount Royal in tiotiakeh Montreal. The bear clan village of tekanontak stood right here and where we are told the serpents did away with our people and hid their outrageous actions from the world. Today we are looking for our babies. We, the “Keepers of the Eastern Door”, stood on this original Mohawk village watching for invasive species and slithering serpents.
