A Film Screening of Makwa Creative's Ni-Naadamaadiz: Red Power Rising
2026-03-05 - 2026-03-06 | Red Lake Heritage Centre
Join us in person for an unforgettable afternoon featuring Makwa Creative’s documentary film Ni-Naadamaadiz: Red Power Rising. It is the little-known story of how in 1974, a courageous group of Anishinaabe youth took over Anicinabe Park in Kenora, Ontario, turning it into a 39-day occupation, supported by the American Indian Movement. Led by Louie Cameron and the Ojibway Warriors Society, it would become one of the most defining and misunderstood moments of the Red Power movement. The warriors wanted improved living conditions, an end to police brutality and racism in Kenora and they wanted Anicinabe Park, a beloved area used by Indigenous families for years, to be returned to First Nations people. The occupation led them all the way to Ottawa with warriors from Cache Creek, B.C., as part of the Native Caravan, which ended on Parliament Hill after police violently moved to end their peaceful demonstration.
Ni-Naadamaadiz: Red Power Rising is directed by acclaimed Métis filmmaker, Shane Belcourt (Amplify) a four-time Canadian Screen Award nominee whose family descends from the Cree-speaking Michif community of Lac Ste. Anne, Alberta and produced by Tanya Talaga (The Knowing), an Anishinaabe journalist and proud member of Fort William First Nation. This film is written by Belcourt and Talaga with original music and score composed by Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Territory musician, Tom Wilson (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings / Junkhouse), and Thompson Wilson.
Dive into a story that celebrates strength, culture, and resilience. It’s a perfect chance to connect with the community and experience this inspiring film on the big screen. Don’t miss out on this unique event!
