Wachiya: dear Friends of Listen to the Land:

Thank you for paying attention and for taking up the call to “listen to the land” wherever you are. This project has been an amazing experience for me and I think I can risk saying for all of us involved.

The final videoblog posts add dimensions to the thinking behind the film and out of the work done by the film. Please continue to refer others to them, to the website (http://www.listeningtotheland.org/filming-the-land), and most important to the film itself.

Encourage your libraries (public, school, and university) to purchase the film and teachers and professors to show it and debate it and critique it and move to the next aspects of the questions it raises. The distributor, V-tape (http://www.vtape.org/), has all the information needed. V-tape also has many other superb films so check out their catalogue.

If you want to have a screening, please let V-tape know and/or invite me too. I am happy to come to a screening and I know that a number of the Naskapi stars are often available as well. (haigbro@yorku.ca).

And all this is to say, that while the website and all associated material will remain here until it is suitably archived, the project has reached a timely conclusion. Please continue to refer friends to the site, watch the film and create your own responses and divergences.

As my friend Colleen Seymour of the Secwepemc Nation has taught me to say, “Always remembering.” It has been a phenomenal journey.

Chi-nishkoomatin, Celia
