From the 1971 Attica Rebellion to Gustafsen Lake in 1995, Dacajeweiah aka Splitting the Sky (born John Boncore Hill) gives an inspired talk of his experiences and struggles in H-110 of the Hall Building at Concordia University in 2000. He tells the story of the confrontation between cowhands, police and military forces, and the Ts'Peten Defenders at Gustafsen Lake in northern B.C. Chosen by a local medicine man to be Sundance Chief, Dacajeweiah helped organize a sundance ceremony with the permission of a local rancher to use his farm. Preparations for the ceremony included enclosing a section of the land, which was interpreted by the rancher as the beginnings of a "land claim". The rancher sought the intervention of the RCMP, who advised that an actual confrontation had to be provoked in order to "legitimate" their presence at the site. In this talk, Dacajeweiah details the deliberate escalation tactics, misinformation campaigns, and military plot to murder specific leaders, including himself. This talk given by Dacajeweiah, organized by QPIRG Concordia, the Anti-Colonial Action Network, and the Concordia Students' Union in 2000, is a living testimony to resistance and survival.
