This battle has been (re-)engaged for nearly 25 years. Ive been saying for five years that the Highway 5/Autoroute 5 extension has nothing whatsoever to do with Wakefield commuters or suburban growth. What I call Industria (this time in the guise of the govts of QC and Canada) is pushing a resource-extraction conduit to Maniwaki in order to facilitate the theft of timber and other natural resources from Algonquin land. Honour Your Word is an intimate portrait of life behind the barricades for the Algonquins of Barriere Lake, an inspiring First Nation whose dignity and courage contrast sharply with the political injustice they face [...] Honour Your Word juxtaposes starkly contrasting landscapes--the majesty of the bush, a dramatic highway stand-off against a riot squad, daily life within the confines of the reserve--to reveal the spirit of a people for whom blockading has become an unfortunate part of their way of life, a life rooted in the piece of Boreal Forest they are defending.
