The second annual Indigenous Sovereignty Week (ISW)\u00a0Montreal\u00a0is part of a cross-Canada week of educational and awareness-raising events in November, 2010. The purpose of ISW is to build local relationships between groups and individuals, disseminate ideas of Indigenism, and generally contribute to building a cross-Canada movement for Indigenous rights, self-determination, and justice that is led by Indigenous communities but with a broad base of informed support.<\/p>\n

<\/em>ISW is a project of the Defenders of the Land, a network of Indigenous communities and activists in land struggle across Canada, including Elders and youth, women and men. Defenders of the Land was founded at a historic meeting in Winnipeg from November 12-14 2008. The Defenders of the Land Basis of Unity is linked here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.defendersoftheland.org\/about<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nABOUT THE FILM: THE CHICAGO CONSPIRACY is based on anti-capitalist struggles in Chile since the Pinochet Dictatorship (student movements, community organizing and theIndigenous\u00a0Mapuche uprising). The film takes its name from the 25 Chilean economists from the Chicago School of Economics who supported the making of the bloody Pinochet regime and in the implementation of neo-liberal, pro-corporate policies. The Chicago Conspiracy is a response to a global conspiracy of neoliberalism, militarism, and authoritarianism.<\/p>\n

\n<\/em>AU SUJET DU FILM: LA CONSPIRATION DE CHICAGO est bas\u00e9e sur les luttes anti-capitalistes au Chili depuis la dictature de Pinochet (mouvement \u00e9tudiant, organisation des communaut\u00e9s et le soul\u00e8vement des autochtones Mapuche). Le film tire son nom des 25 \u00e9conomistes chiliens de l\u2019\u00c9cole de Chicago qui ont soutenu le r\u00e9gime sanglant de Pinochet et la mise en place de politiques n\u00e9o-lib\u00e9rales et pro-multinationales. La Conspiration de Chicago est une r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 une conspiration internationale du n\u00e9o-lib\u00e9ralisme, du militarisme et d\u2019autoritarisme.<\/p>\n
