Join us for a film screening as part of RIFFA’s Global Citizen Series.
I Plowed the Sacred Soil is a feature-length documentary about the File Hills Farm Colony Experiment on the Peepeekisis Cree Nation. Descendants of this Saskatchewan Treaty Four reserve talk about their families’ struggle to maintain a farming community under the original treaty agreement of 1874. The story focuses on William Morris Graham, a government-appointed Indian Agent and his 1898 “failed” attempt to solve the “Indian problem.”
