"Incident at Restigouche" documents the 1981 police raid on the Restigouche Mi'kmaq fishing reserve in Quebec, where the Mounties, acting on behalf of commercial fishermen, confiscated the Mi'kmaq's fishing gear and nets. The film highlights the conflict over traditional fishing rights and the ensuing tension between the Mi'kmaq community and the authorities. Alanis Obomsawin's documentary presents the Mi'kmaq perspective on the incident and its broader implications for Indigenous rights.
