Unceded Chiefs traces the historic early activism of BC First Nations Leaders who in the late 1960's unified in a battle against the Canadian government to reject Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau's proposed 1969 White Paper Policy. Director Doreen Manuel skilfully weaves a story of resilience and determination through interviews and archival audio with the people who lived the battle and the children of the Chiefs who had dedicated their lives to the leadership and survival of their Aboriginal title and rights.
