Cows fed small amount of seaweed burp 86 per cent less methane in trial

Feeding livestock a small amount of a seaweed types discovered in Australia has actually been revealed to lower their methane emissions by as much as 86 per cent.

Key points:

Red seaweed includes a substance that can lower the production of methane

Proponents state it might be the comparable of eliminating 100 million automobiles from the roadway if embraced by the farming market

Some researchers caution the adverse effects of consuming red seaweed on a big scale might consist of the production of ozone-depleting gas

Supplementing either 0.25 per cent or 0.5 per cent of a cow’s day-to-day feed with Asparagopsis taxiformis — a red seaweed belonging to Australian seaside waters — resulted in a typical drop in methane production of over 50 per cent and 74 per cent respectively over a 147-day duration, according to a research study released today in the journal PLOS.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that has a warming prospective around 25 times that of CO2 over a 100-year duration.

Enteric methane emissions — emissions produced in the rumen of animals — are accountable for as much as 14.5 per cent of the yearly greenhouse gases produced by human activity.

The prospective to cut emissions from livestock so drastically might considerably lower the effect the beef market has on environment modification, according to study lead author and animal science scientist Ermias Kebreab from the University of California.

“There needs to be a few more studies, but we see this as having a huge potential to reduce methane emissions,” Professor Kebreab stated.

“The cattle that were supplemented with seaweed actually had a better feed conversion efficiency — they gained more weight for the same amount of feed — compared with those that were not supplemented.

“We would state this is a win-win situation.”

Primitive microbes called archaea use the carbon dioxide and hydrogen produced by digestion of food in a cow’s gut to produce their own energy.

In doing so, they create methane as a by-product, which is mostly burped out the cow’s mouth and not farted out, as is commonly thought.

So how does consuming red seaweed work?

Asparagopsis is a genus of edible red seaweed that contains bromoform, which has been studied for its capacity to reduce methane emissions in livestock.(

)

Asparagopsis taxiformis contains bromoform, which interrupts that process in its final stages and stops methane from being produced.

The result is a reduction in methane emissions that is unparalleled, said Rob Kinley of the CSIRO and chief scientist of Future Feed.

“It stands alone. There are none others even near to it. There are no other substances of any type, whether they’re seaweed or [synthetic] chemicals, that can take the methane down that far without harming the animal,” Dr Kinley said.

“Methane isn’t essential to the animal, it’s simply there as a spin-off of advancement.”

Future Feed, which is a partnership between the CSIRO, Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) and James Cook University, is focusing on research and development of seaweed-based supplements for methane reduction for the cattle industry.

While the technology is mainly aimed at feedlot cattle, according to Future Feed’s own estimates, the global impact on methane production could be significant.

“If 10 per cent of the animals manufacturers included 1 per cent of Asparagopsis seaweed meal to the day-to-day feed consumption of ruminant animals, it resembles eliminating 100 million automobiles off the roadway,” their website states.

According to Dr Kinley, advances in their research means only between 0.2 per cent and 0.4 per cent of daily feed now needs to be supplemented with Asparagopsis.

Sustainable agriculture researcher Richard Eckard said we need to be careful that we’re not going to “produce another walking cane toad”.(

How does it impact the quality of the meat?

For the study, 21 Angus-Hereford steers were randomly allocated to either a control group, a low-supplement or high-supplement group, with the low and high groups having 0.25 per cent and 0.5 per cent of their diet respectively supplemented with A. taxiformis.

Methane data was then collected every three weeks for 147 days.

The seaweed was collected by the CSIRO from Humpy Island in Keppel Bay, Queensland.

Although the methane-reducing properties of seaweed have been researched before, this is the longest field test of A. taxiformis, according to Professor Kebreab.

“We reveal that it works for a minimum of 21 weeks of constant usage, ” he said.

“There was some issue [about whether] the cows — truly the microorganisms in their gut — might adjust to [the seaweed].”

But the study actually found the gut microbes became more efficient over time using the increased availability of hydrogen, according to Dr Kinley.

They also found that meat quality and taste were not affected in any way that was discernible by a tasting panel, and bromoform was not present in the meat at the detectable threshold of 0.06 milligrams per kilogram.

But there are some downsides

Sustainable agriculture expert Richard Eckard of the University of Melbourne said the results were promising, but more work was needed to establish whether or not the product would be safe to be used at scale.

“There are constantly the cautions: yes, it can lower methane, however it’s not a totally natural item that cows consume, so what are the ramifications?” Professor Eckard stated.

“[For instance], bromoform is an ozone depletant.”

Bromoform is naturally released from the oceans via algae and phytoplankton, and is a source of ozone-depleting bromine when it enters the stratosphere and troposphere, although it is considered a short-lived ozone depleting substance.

It’s presently utilized as a solvent, consisting of in the extraction of minerals, and was likewise utilized as a fire retardant in the past.

Professor Eckard said that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use it to reduce methane emissions; just that we need to be led by the science.

“We’re not stating that these are issues, however prior to we produce another walking cane toad, we require to be truly mindful that we’re not letting the sales device get ahead of the science,” he said.

“We wish to know if we feed all the animals in the world seaweed, what is the overall bromine that reaches the ozone layer? That’s what we wish to know, and we do not understand that.

“[But] I think it’s brilliant, it’s really taken us forward in our understanding of how much we can reduce emissions.

“Instead of possibly needing to get rid of the animals market, we can lower methane by 80 per cent.”

Efforts to get the technology into the New Zealand agriculture industry, where 49 per cent of the country’s greenhouse emissions come from agriculture, have been met with some resistance.

New Zealand’s Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre deputy director Andy Reisinger has previously raised the issue of ozone depletion from the technology, and recently told the New Zealand press his concerns haven’t been allayed.

“I do not believe it’s a bad concept, [but] I believe it’s a concept where claims have actually run ahead of the proof and individuals have not dealt with the core issues,” he said.

In response to questions about the potential impact to the ozone layer, a spokesperson for Future Feed said they had done an environmental risk assessment.

“All seaweed produces bromoform however Asparagopsis is special in that it keeps the bromoform, which is why it has such effective anti-methanogenic residential or commercial properties. The bromoform is broken down in the rumen itself,” the spokesperson said.

“The ecological advantages in methane decrease … need to far exceed the very little ecological effect.”

Government of Canada takes action to address threats to struggling Fraser River Chinook

Government of Canada takes action to address threats to struggling Fraser River Chinook

From: Fisheries and Oceans Canada

News release

Chinook salmon populations have been in decline for years as a result of a number of factors including habitat destruction, harvest, and the effects of climate change. The challenges facing at-risk Fraser River Chinook salmon stocks are multi-faceted. The road to recovery requires a long-term view and the collaboration of all interested parties.

June 19, 2020

Vancouver, BC - Chinook salmon populations have been in decline for years as a result of a number of factors including habitat destruction, harvest, and the effects of climate change. The challenges facing at-risk Fraser River Chinook salmon stocks are multi-faceted. The road to recovery requires a long-term view and the collaboration of all interested parties. 

Today, Fisheries and Oceans Canada is releasing 2020 Fisheries management measures that will support the recovery of at-risk Fraser River Chinook populations, as well as protect the jobs and communities that depend on Chinook.

The 2020 measures include additional restrictions to strengthen conservation as well as the flexibility needed where impacts to stocks of concern will be very low.

These measures were developed following consultation with Indigenous communities, recreational and commercial fishing organizations, and environmental organizations. These measures are one component of a larger strategy intended to place at-risk Pacific salmon populations on a path towards sustainability.

Working with First Nations and stakeholders, we are confident we are taking steps to ensure healthier Chinook stocks while maintaining a high degree of protection for endangered Fraser River Chinook. Of the thirteen wild Fraser River Chinook salmon populations assessed, only one is not at risk. The loss of Chinook salmon would be disastrous not just for wildlife that depend on them as a food source, but also for the many First Nations and communities whose ways of life and jobs depend on Fraser Chinook salmon.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada took unprecedented fisheries management measures in 2019 to protect Fraser River Chinook stocks, including efforts to clear the Big Bar Landslide, which further threatened the species. We will continue to assess fish passage at the Big Bar landslide and consider these circumstances in making fisheries management decisions as the season progresses.

The Government of Canada is taking significant action to ensure that our Chinook salmon survive for future generations. The measures announced today highlight the government’s commitment to working collaboratively to ensure the sustainability of Chinook stocks as a means by which to ensure the health of our ecosystems and the long term prosperity of Indigenous and coastal communities.

Quotes

“Pacific wild salmon are an icon of our West Coast, and protecting them is a top priority. The measures announced today are one of many actions we are taking to protect and restore wild Pacific salmon. Indigenous and coastal communities depend on this stock for their food and livelihoods, and we are moving forward with a stringent, but flexible approach that reflects those needs. Together with habitat restoration and protection, increased research and enhancement partnerships we are taking the necessary steps to help safeguard this species, and put them on a path towards sustainability.”

The Honourable Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard

Quick facts

To protect and restore Chinook populations, DFO is focusing on these key areas:

Habitat protection - Bringing in a new Fisheries Act to restore protections for fish habitat, and working closely with the BC government on land and water use policies that can impact critical habitat.

Habitat restoration - In partnership with the province, DFO has created a BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund, contributing more than $142 million over five years, enabling salmon and habitat restoration projects in communities across the province.

Climate adaptation - Climate affects the survival of Pacific salmon through changes in ocean and freshwater habitats. We are researching how warming waters affect salmon through all life stages, and the implications for ecosystems, and released our first State of Pacific Salmon report in 2019.

Improved stock assessment – In the 2018 Economic Statement we committed an additional $107 million to support the implementation of the Fish Stocks provisions of the renewed Fisheries Act. These resources will help improve Pacific salmon stock assessments and contribute to a better managed fishery.

Enhanced science and collaboration – To gain a better understanding of what is  happening in the North Pacific and how salmon returns are being affected, DFO recently co-sponsored a second research expedition to the North Pacific with scientists drawn from five countries (Russia, US, Japan, South Korea and Canada).

My name is Enui, and I come from Rapa Nui (Easter Island).  Well part of me lives here, but I come from other places, too.

We have a mystical consciousness, moving and shape-shifting in and out of different dimensions.  As a fishing race, sea creatures are sacred to us, especially the Turtle.  I have seven parallel lives, including one on the Pleiades.  I can see you find that hard to believe.  Why limit your consciousness?

The gift I have brought forward into my life is multidimensional consciousness, a way of being which is still in the memory banks for access.

Neptune

square to the Nodes:  

Confusing to yourself and others, but at the same time challenging them to open their minds, confusion being part of the transition state.

North Node in Virgo:  

The karmic mission is to hone your skills, be aware of detail, moving away from scattered thinking and action.

Integration of Nodal Axis for Virgo and Pisces:

 The ability to give service, in the community and in the world.

Five Definitive Reasons to Invest in Whistler, BC & Gibsons BC Real Estate

Summary: Situated only two hours away from Vancouver, Whistler proves to be the best place in Canada all year-round. Here are five reasons why Whistler & Gibsons BC might be one of the best places on the planet to invest and make your money grow!

Whistler is a town with an Olympic background. Whistler’s Mountain Bike Park is legendary, known as the single best bike park in the world, along with hundreds of mountain biking trails in the valley and through the mountains. It also is a romantic fishing resort and a weekend retreat with many beautiful secret spots. The village also boasts cobblestone streets and a wonderful ski hill.  The Whistler area was once a waypoint for First Nations trading as it is rich with wildlife and resources, now Whistler is the future of investment. Whereas, Gibsons BC is a coastal community located in southwestern British Columbia, Canada on the Strait of Georgia, approx. 40 km northwest of Vancouver. A popular retirement destination, Gibsons attracts many artists and musicians, as well as professionals who commute by ferry into nearby Vancouver, or are able to work globally from home, thanks to the availability of top speed fibre optic service.

Here we are going to show you why Whistler and Gibsons BC Real Estate might be the best place to put your money in and see it grow.

Reason #1: The International Awards

No matter which award we are talking about, the town of Whistler seems to have them all. Every year, this Canadian town receives lots of international recognition! A town that stays in the minds of those who love luxury travel remains the best place to invest in.

In 2019, the English Telegraph awarded Whistler an Ultra prize to the best luxury travel experience. The Canadian town was recognized as the Best Ski Resort in the World. Runners up in the competition were Chamonix, Mont Blanc and Courchevel all in the French Alps.

Trip Advisor 2019 Travellers' Choice Awards gave Whistler the honor to be in the Top 10 Experiences in all Canada. The best experience was the Zipline Adventure. In case you didn't know, Whistler houses the longest zipline in both the US and Canada. The Sasquatch is almost 3.2 km long!

The Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Travel Awards 2019 also gave Whistler a fair share of prizes. The Whistler Blackcomb got the first prize again as Best Ski Resort in the World. This place features a gondola ride between two mountains. Here you will fall in love with beautiful British Columbia. It features incredible views of volcanoes, coastal rainforests, and amazing glaciers.

The Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards gave Whistler the gold, silver and bronze medals for outstanding restaurants. Can you imagine any other Canadian city having such recognition? Whistler is a town that will never get short of tourism. Its properties will keep their value rising in the market.

 Reason #2: Sustainability for the Future

Some places have started planning the future now. Whistler is one of these places. Take, for example, water. Water in Whistler comes from the alpine snow. The municipality then treats the water from the rivers and redirects it to your home, office or hotel.

Whistler is proud of its water system. Hotels give their guests reusable flasks, so nobody has to buy a plastic bottle of water anymore. The community has more than 20 public fountains and water-bottle refill stations.

Everyone in Whistler seems to be passionate about taking care of the environment. The whole town is in syntony with the environment. Everyone just naturally wants to take care of it.

The Whistler Biodiversity Project found over 90 new species only during 2019. This place is teeming with all sorts of life that will remain protected by several associations and institutions.  

And the best news is that many people are willing to take care of Whistler for future generations. Last year, in 2019, the Whistler Council asked nineteen oil producers to take financial responsibilities for the climate change costs. This is the sort of thing that happens in British Columbia. And they are ready to take stronger actions.

 Reason #3: Community Counts

People think community wise when they live in Whistler. They know their main income comes from tourism. Tourists will keep visiting the town only if the wonderful mountains, natural parks, clean lakes, and sparkling rivers are kept pristine. So they are thinking about fostering ecological thinking. This is defined as "knowing that all things are interconnected on each other to function effectively".  

Whistler has amazing programs that help build very strong communities. A strong community means a safe and happy neighborhood. Here is where you want your children to grow up. This also means the perfect place to retire.

Take for example the Whistler Resilient Streets Program. This program entices you to get together with your neighbors. Then you build connections at street level and choose how you want your community to grow. The program has helped build mini-libraries, bike tuning shops, group pollinator gardens and more!

 Reason #4: Local Economy Growth

In Whistler, people know it is important to create a bigger shared value-based local economy. That is why the government and civil society create important networks, partnerships, and new business models.

Whistler is a town where people know that the government has to earn and keep the voters' trust. They have a very active political participation, especially when it comes to transparency.

Business grows because Whistler's business people insist on a two-way corridor, where the government reports to the people, and where the people can talk to the government upfront. Whistler Centre for Sustainability provides an amazing example of structuring the world we want to live in. They are all for facilitating anything that encourages individual and collective actions on the local economic development. With almost 50 projects in their hands, they encourage the community to decide the kind of town they want to live in.

 Reason #5: Reducing the Gap

As a small community, Whistler made the first-ever living wage approach to help those at a disadvantage. The government has succeeded in giving families and seasonal and resort employees a wage that helps them have a good quality of life, no matter what their jobs are.

Whistler has gone through huge economic growth in the past years. The good news is that the government is helping everyone in the community keep up with the growth. The Resort Municipality of Whistler and Whistler Housing Authority work together with employers to keep the housing affordability in the town.

Whistler Chamber of Commerce works with the businesses in town to make sure Whistler keeps being a good place to work and live in. All these government efforts help Whistler become resilient and grow into a very healthy economy that will boom with all its participants. The goal is not to leave anybody behind.

Success is measured by making sure every family has their basic needs covered, but they go beyond. Families have to be able to take part in community activities and promote child development. All of these efforts give Whistler its inner strength and make it one of the best towns in the world to invest in.

Cows fed small amount of seaweed burp 86 per cent less methane in trial

Feeding cattle a small amount of a seaweed species found in Australia has been shown to reduce their methane emissions by up to 86 per cent.

Key points:

Red seaweed contains a compound that can reduce the production of methane

Proponents say it could be the equivalent of removing 100 million cars from the road if adopted by the agriculture industry

Some scientists warn the side effects of eating red seaweed on a large scale could include the production of ozone-depleting gas

Supplementing either 0.25 per cent or 0.5 per cent of a cow’s daily feed with Asparagopsis taxiformis — a red seaweed native to Australian coastal waters — resulted in an average drop in methane production of over 50 per cent and 74 per cent respectively over a 147-day period, according to a study published today in the journal PLOS.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that has a warming potential around 25 times that of CO2 over a 100-year period.

Enteric methane emissions — emissions produced in the rumen of livestock — are responsible for as much as 14.5 per cent of the annual greenhouse gases produced by human activity.

The potential to cut emissions from cattle so dramatically could significantly reduce the impact the beef industry has on climate change, according to study lead author and animal science researcher Ermias Kebreab from the University of California.

“There needs to be a few more studies, but we see this as having a huge potential to reduce methane emissions,” Professor Kebreab said.

“The cattle that were supplemented with seaweed actually had a better feed conversion efficiency — they gained more weight for the same amount of feed — compared with those that were not supplemented.

“We would say this is a win-win scenario.”

Primitive microbes called archaea use the carbon dioxide and hydrogen produced by digestion of food in a cow’s gut to produce their own energy.

In doing so, they create methane as a by-product, which is mostly burped out the cow’s mouth and not farted out, as is commonly thought.

So how does eating red seaweed work?

Asparagopsis is a genus of edible red seaweed that contains bromoform, which has been studied for its capacity to reduce methane emissions in livestock.(

Supplied: Sea Forest

)

Asparagopsis taxiformis contains bromoform, which interrupts that process in its final stages and stops methane from being produced.

The result is a reduction in methane emissions that is unparalleled, said Rob Kinley of the CSIRO and chief scientist of Future Feed.

“It stands alone. There are none others even close to it. There are no other compounds of any type, whether they’re seaweed or [synthetic] chemicals, that can take the methane down that far without hurting the animal,” Dr Kinley said.

“Methane isn’t necessary to the animal, it’s just there as a by-product of evolution.”

Future Feed, which is a partnership between the CSIRO, Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) and James Cook University, is focusing on research and development of seaweed-based supplements for methane reduction for the cattle industry.

While the technology is mainly aimed at feedlot cattle, according to Future Feed’s own estimates, the global impact on methane production could be significant.

“If 10 per cent of the livestock producers added 1 per cent of Asparagopsis seaweed meal to the daily feed intake of ruminant livestock, it is like removing 100 million cars off the road,” their website states.

According to Dr Kinley, advances in their research means only between 0.2 per cent and 0.4 per cent of daily feed now needs to be supplemented with Asparagopsis.

Sustainable agriculture researcher Richard Eckard said we need to be careful that we’re not going to “produce another cane toad”.(

BC Rural: Jennifer Nichols

)

How does it affect the quality of the meat?

For the study, 21 Angus-Hereford steers were randomly allocated to either a control group, a low-supplement or high-supplement group, with the low and high groups having 0.25 per cent and 0.5 per cent of their diet respectively supplemented with A. taxiformis.

Methane data was then collected every three weeks for 147 days.

The seaweed was collected by the CSIRO from Humpy Island in Keppel Bay, Queensland.

Although the methane-reducing properties of seaweed have been researched before, this is the longest field test of A. taxiformis, according to Professor Kebreab.

“We show that it works for at least 21 weeks of continuous use, ” he said.

“There was some concern [about whether] the cows — really the microbes in their gut — could adapt to [the seaweed].”

But the study actually found the gut microbes became more efficient over time using the increased availability of hydrogen, according to Dr Kinley.

They also found that meat quality and taste were not affected in any way that was discernible by a tasting panel, and bromoform was not present in the meat at the detectable threshold of 0.06 milligrams per kilogram.

But there are some downsides

Sustainable agriculture expert Richard Eckard of the University of Melbourne said the results were promising, but more work was needed to establish whether or not the product would be safe to be used at scale.

“There are always the caveats: yes, it can reduce methane, but it’s not an entirely natural product that cows eat, so what are the implications?” Professor Eckard said.

“[For instance], bromoform is an ozone depletant.”

Bromoform is naturally released from the oceans via algae and phytoplankton, and is a source of ozone-depleting bromine when it enters the stratosphere and troposphere, although it is considered a short-lived ozone depleting substance.

It’s currently used as a solvent, including in the extraction of minerals, and was also used as a fire retardant in the past.

Professor Eckard said that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use it to reduce methane emissions; just that we need to be led by the science.

“We’re not saying that these are problems, but before we produce another cane toad, we need to be really careful that we’re not letting the sales machine get ahead of the science,” he said.

“We want to know if we feed all the livestock in the world seaweed, what is the total bromine that reaches the ozone layer? That’s what we want to know, and we don’t know that.

“[But] I think it’s brilliant, it’s really taken us forward in our understanding of how much we can reduce emissions.

“Instead of potentially having to get rid of the livestock industry, we can reduce methane by 80 per cent.”

Efforts to get the technology into the New Zealand agriculture industry, where 49 per cent of the country’s greenhouse emissions come from agriculture, have been met with some resistance.

New Zealand’s Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre deputy director Andy Reisinger has previously raised the issue of ozone depletion from the technology, and recently told the New Zealand press his concerns haven’t been allayed.

“I don’t think it’s a bad idea, [but] I think it’s an idea where claims have run ahead of the evidence and people haven’t addressed the core problems,” he said.

In response to questions about the potential impact to the ozone layer, a spokesperson for Future Feed said they had done an environmental risk assessment.

“All seaweed produces bromoform but Asparagopsis is unique in that it retains the bromoform, which is why it has such powerful anti-methanogenic properties. The bromoform is degraded in the rumen itself,” the spokesperson said.

“The environmental benefits in methane reduction … should far outweigh the minimal environmental impact.”

Mobilize! NFB Puts Truth & Reconciliation Onscreen

“Stories are wondrous things. And they are dangerous,”  says Thomas King.

King knows a thing or two about storytelling and its cultural clout. Born to a Cherokee father and Greek/German mother, he has shed sharp new light on Indigenous experience with novels like Truth and Bright Water and Green Grass, Running Water and groundbreaking radio like The Dead Dog Café Comedy Hour.

With The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America, published in 2012, he delivers an impassioned counter-narrative to official history, a lively work of non-fiction that the late Ojibwe novelist Richard Wagamese compared to the writings of Mark Twain, calling it “essential reading for everyone who cares about Canada and who seeks to understand Native people, their issues and their dreams.”

A film adaptation of The Inconvenient Indian — currently in the works at the Ontario Studio — is one of over 30 Indigenous-driven projects that are either in development, production or current release across the NFB’s various studios. Ranging from futuristic VR to a personal reflection on the shooting death of Colten Boushie, they form the linchpin of the NFBs three-year Indigenous Action Plan launched in June 2017.

When the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released its final report in 2015, Judge Murray Sinclair and his fellow commissioners made it clear that any genuine reckoning with the legacy of residential schooling, and the broader history of Canada’s internal colonialism, required a long-term commitment on the part of Canadians and Canadian institutions, and their report included a sweeping call to action — 94 specific recommendations addressing a wide range of social and political players.

The commissioners identified a critical role for artists and for institutions concerned with cultural production and public memory: “Creative expression can play a vital role in this national reconciliation, providing alternative voices, vehicles, and venues for expressing historical truths and present hopes.” As a public producer and distributor, founded with a mandate to reflect Canada in all its complexity to Canadians and the world, the NFB heard the call and is now one year into a comprehensive plan towards institutional transformation, aimed at achieving equity for Indigenous creators, employees, partners and audiences.

The NFB’s Indigenous Action Plan covers all areas of operations – from hiring and distribution to library information systems, where an effort is underway to revise outdated colonial terminology and concepts. Highlights include a commitment to achieving representational parity in staffing by 2025, the development of new protocols for working with Indigenous partners and subjects, and a formal commitment to allocating no less than 15 percent of all production to Indigenous filmmakers and storytellers. Here are some Indigenous-directed stories and projects currently in the works.

In Release:

Anishinaabe filmmaker Lisa Jackson is at ease in a range of genres and with Biidaaban: First Light, a VR project that premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Festival in April, she collaborated with artist Mathew Borrett to conjure up a futuristic Toronto, recast in light of its original Indigenous languages and knowledge. A mentoring director with the NSI’s IndigiDocs Program, Jackson won the Alanis Obomsawin Best Documentary award at imagineNATIVE 2017 with Indictment: The Crimes of Shelly Chartier, co-directed with Shane Belcourt. Produced by Rob McLaughlin and Dana Dansereau at the Digital Studio.

In Production:

Addiction has a long and painful legacy in many Indigenous communities, a legacy rooted in Canada’s colonial history.  Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers’ feature doc Kiimaapiipitsin is an honest and unconditional love letter to her people, the Kanai First Nation in Alberta, past, present, and future.  Opiates and alcohol have had a devastating impact on the community and Kiimaapiipitsin presents a portrait of a people who are actively seeking radically new solutions to an old problem. What would happen if Indigenous communities were to implement harm reduction models? As Elle-Máijá’s mother, Dr. Esther Tailfeathers says, “Kiimaapiipitsin means ‘to take care of each other’. This is our harm reduction.” In production at the North West Studio. David Christensen is producing.

 When the Winnipeg Aqueduct was completed it 1919, it allowed water to be carried from Shoal Lake to the growing city. But its construction has lead to decades of hardship for the people of the Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, culminating in their isolation on an artificial island, where inhabitants have been under a boil-water advisory for nearly 20 years. Having lobbied long and hard for a road, the people of SL40 are now preparing for big changes. With Freedom Road, a series of shorts currently in production at the North West Studio, hometown filmmaker and activist Angelina McLeod is documenting the process from the inside. Alicia Smith is producing.

A co-production between Toronto’s 90th Parallel Productions and the NFB Ontario Studio, The Inconvenient Indian is being directed by Métis/Algonquin filmmaker and activist Michelle Latimer, whose many credits include Nuuca, which she co-produced through own company Streel Film and Field of Vision, with Laura Poitras and Charlotte Cook as fellow executive producers; and Nimmikaage (She Dances for People), an inventive mashup crafted from NFB archival footage. “Michelle was coming off Rise, a groundbreaking series on Indigenous activism around the world,” says NFB producer Justine Pimlott, “and we all agreed she’d be perfect for this project.” Jesse Wente, recently appointed director of Canada’s newly established Indigenous Screen Office, is creative producer. Stuart Henderson is producing for 90th Parallel, with Gordon Henderson as executive producer.

The all too brief life of Jordan River Anderson has inspired new work from Alanis Obomsawin, the 52nd film in an extraordinary career that has paved the way for Indigenous filmmakers in Canada and around the world. Born with a genetic disorder, Anderson was forced to spend his entire life inside a hospital, denied the right to live at home in the Norway House Cree Nation because of jurisdictional bickering between federal and provincial authorities over the costs of the specialized equipment needed for him to live at home. His life and legacy sparked a movement called Jordan’s Principle and child-first legislation aimed at ensuring equitable access to treatment and support for First Nations children and their families. With this film Obomsawin continues her cycle on children’s’ rights, a series that includes We Can’t Make the Same Mistake Twice (2016) and Our People Will Be Healed (2017). Obomsawin is directing and producing.

Délia Gunn and Évelyne Papatie, two young Anishnabe directors who’ve made award-winning films through the Wapikoni mobile studio, are creating short work for web distribution as part of Le projet des 5 courts. A partnership between the Val-d’Or-based 08 Cinéma indépendant (Serge Bordeleau, producer) and the NFB (Colette Loumède and Nathalie Cloutier, producers).

Born and raised in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, Janine Windolph grew up eating food from the land but her move to the city introduced a southern diet of processed food. With After the Thaw, the Atikemak-Woodland Cree/German artist and educator brings her two sons north to learn traditional life-sustaining skills — hunting, fishing and foraging — from their grandmother who has herself recently returned to the land. Jon Montes is producing.

Only recently rediscovered in the NFB vaults, the short film Loon Lake was produced by the historic Indian Film Crew, the NFB’s first all-Indigenous production unit, formed in 1968 within the framework of Challenge for Change. With Loon River, in production at the North West Studio, the Cree/Lakota filmmaker/producer Cory Generoux returns to the community to give the film its first public screening in fifty years. David Christensen is producing.

Cree filmmaker/academic Tasha Hubbard turns her gaze on the death of Colten Boushie and subsequent acquittal of Gerald Stanley, and the history of Treaty 6 Territory in Life and Death of the Prairies, currently in production at the North West Studio. Birth of a Family, her remarkable reparative film on the Sixties Scoop, made in collaboration with journalist Betty Ann Adam, premiered at Hot Docs in 2017 and won a Special Jury Prize at imagineNative. Jon Montes is producing in co-production with Downstream Documentary Productions.

In Development:

With My Brother’s Story, in development at the BC & Yukon Studio, veteran Cree/Métis filmmaker Loretta Todd is tracing the trajectory of a fractured sibling bond against the backdrop of modern Indigenous history. The winner of several Lifetime Achievement Awards, Todd has created distinctive documentary work like Hands of History (1994) and Kainayssini Imanistaisiwa: The People Go On (2003). Selwyn Jacob is producing.

With Nin, auass/ Moi, L’enfant, a feature doc in development in the French Documentary Studio, Abenaki director Kim Obomsawin is charting twelve months in the lives of four young people from different Indigenous community. Key inspiration is Nicolas Philibert’s 2012 feature doc Être et avoir, a beautifully observed film of life in a rural French school. Colette Loumède is producing. Obomsawin’s credits include Ce silence qui tue, a 2018 release from the Indigenous-run Wabanok Productions that challenges official indifference to the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women. 

Also at the BC & Yukon Studio, Chris Auchter is revisiting a pivotal event in his community’s history, retrieving footage shot for a 1969 documentary entitled This Was the Time in order to retell the story from a Haida perspective. The film centres on a watershed moment in Haida Masset where for the first time after more than half a century of colonial suppression, a totem pole was carved and raised in the context of a potlatch ceremony. The carver featured in the film is a young Robert Davidson, today a globally renowned artist. “There’s so much positive change that can be credited to that event,” says the Haida Gwaii-born Auchter, whose most recent work The Mountain of SGaana was named Best Film for Young Audiences at the 2017 Ottawa International Animation Festival. Selwyn Jacob is producing. 

A multidisciplinary creation lab initiated by Michèle Bélanger and housed in French Program, Déranger invites Indigenous artists to create work that both disrupts and enhances public space. The Montreal incarnation, mounted in collaboration with the Oboro Centre and Wapikoni, gave birth to the immersive installation Kushapetshekan/Kosapitcikan, exhibited earlier this year at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Déranger now moves to Winnipeg where the NFB is partnering with On Screen Manitoba and Video Pool.

At a time when Indigenous women were arguably the most disenfranchised members of Canadian society, Mary Two-Axe Earley, pictured below, fearlessly took on the nation’s most powerful political figures, determined to secure basic rights for Indigenous women and children. Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) filmmaker Courtney Montour, who also hails from Kahnawake — the town where Mary had to fight for the right to be buried — is currently in development in the Quebec & Atlantic Studio on a documentary investigation of Two-Axe’s life and legacy. Kat Baulu is producing.

 “As Inuit we’re not frightened to mix things up,” says Elisapie Isaac, a musician and filmmaker whose credits include the lyrical NFB release If the Weather Permits. “We have a very eclectic culture; not one that holds us back but rather a culture in transition.” For her latest project Runaway Girl, in development at the French-language animation studio, she has teamed up with renowned visual artist Marc Séguin. Marc Bertrand is producing.

Also in the works in French Animation Studio is Symphonie d’une attaque nordique, a futuristic short in which Caroline Monnet imagines the Indigenous Peoples of the North uniting against a supernatural invading army. A visual artist of Algonquin ancestry who has exhibited around the globe, Monet made the exhilarating archive-based short Mobilize for the NFB Souvenir Series. “I want to speak about a people moving forward, a people who are mobilizing themselves,” she says of that film. Julie Roy is producing.

Métis filmmaker Cara Mumford harnesses the narrative potential of interactive technologies with Red Card, a futurist web-based game in development in the NFB Digital Studio. Continuing an exploration she began with the short film Red Card World: The Tree, she evokes the collapse of western society, a scenario where Indigenous communities offer survival with life-saving ‘supertrees.’ Red Card was the winner of the NFB/imagineNATIVE’s 2016 interactive partnership program. Produced by Dana Dansereau.

With Meneath (Island), an AR project in development in the Animation Studio, Métis artist Terril Calder is exploring the seven deadly sins of Christianity alongside the seven sacred lessons of Indigenous knowledge. Calder’s work has received Honorable Mentions at Sundance and the Berlinale, and her animated short Choke, co-created with Michelle Latimer, made TIFF’s top ten list in 2011. She was the recipient of the 2016 Ontario Arts Council’s K.M Hunter Media Arts Award. Produced by Jelena Popović.

Amanda Strong’s inventive animation has drawn comparisons to Tim Burton, and when Alanis Obomsawin was given the Toronto Film Critics’ 2016 Clyde Gilmour Technicolor Award, she was so impressed by Strong’s extraordinary short Four Faces of the Moon that she bequeathed the cash prize to the Vancouver-based filmmaker, acknowledging Strong’s vital contribution to contemporary Indigenous cinema. Strong is currently developing Wheetago War, based on a cannibal story by Tłı̨chǫ writer Richard Van Camp, in the English Animation Studio. Produced by Maral Mohammadian.

Indigenous Cinema: Free streaming of over 200 titles

Since 1968 the NFB has produced close to 300 titles by First Nations, Métis and Inuit directors from across Canada. Over 200 of these titles are available on Indigenous Cinema, an online platform launched earlier this year. The curated collection includes trailblazing historic films like Willie Dunn’s The Ballad of Crowfoot, the first film made by the Indian Film Crew, alongside landmark docs like Alanis Obomsawin’s Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistances and a host of new titles.

In honour of June 21, National Indigenous Peoples Day, the new platform is showcasing Kanehsatake as well as a quartet of recent releases: Tasha Hubbard’s Birth of a Family, Louise BigEagle’s To Wake Up the Lakota Language along with Marie Clements’ stirring musical doc The Road Forward and Chris Auchter’s animation hit.
