The Klabona Keepers

The Klabona Keepers is an intimate portrait of the dynamic Indigenous community that succeeded in protecting the Sacred Headwaters known as the Klabona from industrial activities Spanning 15 years of matriarchled resistance a small group of determined elders in the village of Iskut heal from the wounds of colonization to push back against law enforcement government and some of the worlds largest multinational companies Nestled between scenes of standoffs and blockades land defenders reflect on how their history of forced displacement residential schools and trauma strengthened their resolve to protect the very land that was so essential to their healing journey
