Yintah (2024) Movie Script
1
This is Witsuwiten territory.
The Witsuwiten have never
surrendered our land.
We take care of the land
with our own laws.
Is there a problem?
In the old days,
our ancestors took great care of our land.
They would kill trespassers
for crossing without permission.
You remembered us
and that's why you came.
I am so happy.
As you know,
there's a hearing for an injunction
that Coastal GasLink was asking for.
If the blockade and the interference with
their operations were to continue
the economic harm could be in
the millions and millions of dollars.
Ninety-nine times out of a hundred,
they'll get their injunction.
CGL can tell the RCMP to back off
and not make a move.
They need to talk to us,
they haven't done that.
You are protecting a dirty pipeline!
And that is not honorable!
Come help me pray!
What they have over there,
no matter how strong they are,
and how they run,
break them all.
Those machines that crawl,
rip them apart!
Hold them back!
We'll rebuild.
I know.
We always have.
They are stealing our yintah.
They are breaking the laws
of our ancestors.
I talked to my grandmother.
I said we have come to a crossroads.
When I speak to my ancestors,
I wonder if they hear me?
Wigidimstsol!
Your children!
Take them and look after them!
Thank you, Creator.
Unist'ot'en ancestors, stand with us!
Masgibu, stand up!
Wigidimsts'ol, stand up!
Ancestors are here.
Our ancestors before us
protected the yintah.
We look after it for our children,
our grandchildren and the unborn.
What do you fight for?
Using pain compliance.
You just got a convoy of fuckin'
non-industrial traffic coming up.
There's quite a bit of 'em.
Excuse me,
please don't touch the equipment.
