ABOUT THE FILM
NI-NAADAMAADIZ: RED POWER RISING
Shane Belcourt /  Canada / 2025 / 90’ / Anishinaabemowin, English, English subs

In 1974, a group of young Anishinaabe activists took over Anicinabe Park in Kenora, Ontario, demanding justice, land rights, and an end to systemic racism in Canada. Their 39-day occupation — led by Louie Cameron and the Ojibway Warriors Society — would become one of the most defining and misunderstood moments of the Red Power movement.

Director Shane Belcourt revisits this pivotal event through rare archival footage, personal letters, and newly recorded interviews that connect past struggles to present-day Indigenous resistance. At the film’s emotional core is Tyler Cameron, who retraces his father Louie’s legacy, confronting both the pride and pain of a movement that sought dignity in the face of erasure.

Blending history, memory, and lived experience, NI-NAADAMAADIZ: RED POWER RISING is both intimate and political and reclaims a forgotten chapter of Canadian history and reminds audiences that the spirit of resistance still echoes through generations.

A PROPOS DU FILM
NI-NAADAMAADIZ: RED POWER RISING
Shane Belcourt /  Canada / 2025 / 90 min / Anishinaabemowin, anglais, Sous-titres en anglais

En 1974, un groupe de jeunes militants Anishinaabe a pris le contrôle du parc Anicinabe à Kenora, en Ontario, pour réclamer justice, des droits fonciers et la fin du racisme systémique au Canada. Leur occupation de 39 jours, menée par Louie Cameron et l’Ojibway Warriors Society, allait devenir l’un des moments les plus marquants et les plus mal compris du mouvement Red Power.

Le réalisateur Shane Belcourt revisite cet événement marquant à travers des images d’archives rares, des lettres personnelles et des interviews récemment enregistrées qui relient les luttes passées à la résistance autochtone actuelle. Au cœur de ce film émouvant se trouve Tyler Cameron, qui retrace l’héritage de son père Louie, confronté à la fois à la fierté et à la douleur d’un mouvement qui cherchait à retrouver sa dignité face à l’effacement.

Mêlant histoire, mémoire et expérience vécue, NI-NAADAMAADIZ: RED POWER RISING est à la fois intime et politique. Il revisite un chapitre oublié de l’histoire canadienne et rappelle au public que l’esprit de résistance résonne encore à travers les générations.
