Common Territory
A Documentary by Bear Image Productions & Chilliwack LIP
Stories of newcomers and Indigenous peoples who have experienced displacement and cultivated belonging in the traditional territories of the Stó:lō peoples (colonially known as the Fraser Valley).
The film features interviews with newcomer community members, and interviews with Indigenous community members, as the original peoples of this land, to highlight their shared experiences of facing the pressures of assimilation into dominant Canadian culture, while working to maintain their unique cultural identities, sense of belonging, and connection to the land through various means.
