Journey to Graveyard Valley

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Graveyard Valley is the site of where the last St'at'imc /Tsilhqot'in war took place. Though peace had been declared in the 1840's, it wasn't until 2003 that the people officially buried the hatchet.

 

Both nations collectively joined to honor those who had passed and declared their intentions to protect their lands from further development. In 2007, the St'at'imc and Tsilhqot'in Nations got together and constructed a monument in Graveyard Valley , to honor the fallen warriors.

This film includes stunning cinematography of a breath taking landscape as well as footage from these historic ceremonies and interviews with elders and resource people from the St'at'imc and Tsilhqot'in Nations.
