Released in 1969, These Are My People...was the first NFB film made entirely by an Indigenous crew. It was co-directed by Roy Daniels, Willie Dunn, Michael Kanentakeron Mitchell and Barbara Wilson - members of the Indian Film Crew (IFC), an all-Indigenous unit established in 1968 as part of Challenge for Change, a broader organizational initiative to use media to effect social change. One of the first Canadian documentaries to foreground an Indigenous perspective on the history of Indigenous/settler relations, it features Standing Arrow and Tom Porter, from the Kanien'kéhaka (Mohawk) community of Akwesasne, discussing Longhouse religion, culture, and government, and the impact of settler arrival on their way of life.

You Are on Indian Land

Released in 1969, this short documentary was one of the most influential and widely distributed productions made by the Indian Film Crew (IFC), the first all-Indigenous unit at the NFB. It documents a 1969 protest by the Kanien'kéhaka (Mohawk) of Akwesasne, a territory that straddles the Canada/US border. When Canadian authorities prohibited the duty-free cross-border passage of personal purchases-a right established by the Jay Treaty of 1794-Kanien'kéhaka protesters blocked the international bridge between Ontario and New York State. Director Michael Kanentakeron Mitchell later became Grand Chief of Akwesasne. The film was formally credited to him in 2017. You Are on Indian Land screened extensively across the continent, helping to mobilize a new wave of Indigenous activism. It notably was shown at the 1970 occupation of Alcatraz. The film shows the confrontation with police, and ensuing action, including footage of Mohawk political activist Kahn-Tineta Horn.

The Ballad of Crowfoot

Released in 1968 and often referred to as Canada's first music video, The Ballad of Crowfoot was directed by Willie Dunn, a Mi'kmaq/Scottish folk singer and activist who was part of the historic Indian Film Crew, the first all-Indigenous production unit at the NFB. The film is a powerful look at colonial betrayals told through a striking montage of archival images and a ballad composed by Dunn himself about the legendary 19th-century Siksika (Blackfoot) chief who negotiated Treaty 7 on behalf of the Blackfoot Confederacy. The IFC's inaugural release, Crowfoot was the first Indigenous-directed film to be made at the NFB.
