- The tricksters speak: Klooscap and Wesakechak, Indigenous law, and the New Brunswick land use negotiation byPublication Date: 2016In 2015, the University of New Brunswick hosted the Kawaskimhon Talking Circle Moot. The moot problem was based on the case of 'Buctouche First Nation v. New Brunswick'. This article presents the argument made on behalf of the Council of Traditional Elders and Chiefs of the Mi'kmaq peoples. Their interests consist of protecting the traditional lands of the Mi'kmaq people while recognizing that the Mi'kmaq have a legal duty to the forests upon which they depend. The argument is presented as a dialogue between two Indigenous tricksters- Klooscap (a Mi'kmaq trickster) and Wesakechak (a Cree trickster).
Film and Video
"In this feature-length documentary, Indigenous filmmaker and artist Alanis Obomsawin chronicles the determination and tenacity of the Listuguj Mi'kmaq people to use and manage the natural resources of their traditional lands. The film provides a contemporary perspective on the Mi'kmaq people's ongoing struggle and ultimate success, culminating in the community receiving an award for Best Managed River from the same government that had denied their traditional rights."
