Incident at Restigouche investigates the police raids on the Restigouche Reserve in Quebec in 1981. The raids were the government’s violent response to the Mi’kmaq peoples’ refusal to acknowledge restrictions on their traditional fishing rights. Richard Cardinal: Cry from the Diary of a Métis Child is based on the heartbreaking journal of a Métis teenager who committed suicide after having spent his short life in foster homes, group homes, and shelters. Obomsawin’s first film, Christmas at Moose Factory, is composed entirely of children’s crayon drawings and narrated by the young artists. It is indicative of the skill and sensitivity she has become renowned for in all of her subsequent work.
