The People of the Kattawapiskak River

The People of the Kattawapiskak River is a 2012 documentary film by Alanis Obomsawin exploring conditions inside the Attawapiskat First Nation, which in October 2011 declared a state of emergency due to health and safety concerns over a lack of housing and infrastructure, and remained in the public spotlight during the Idle No More protests. Obomsawin has stated that she uses the name "Kattawapiskak" in place of Attiwapiskat in the film and its title because she believes it to be the community's correct name.
