Production historyObomsawin had heard about an impending police raid on the news and wanted to head to Restigouche immediately with a film crew. However, it took several weeks of discussions with her producer, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), to secure permission. With approval finally granted, she arrived at the reserve with a small film crew shortly after a second raid. Obomsawin was irritated about what she had missed, forced to rely on footage from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and photographs from L'Aviron, a Campbellton newspaper. To add insult to injury, when Obomsawin asked the NFB for permission to shoot more interviews, including with then-Minister of Fisheries Lucien Lessard, who had ordered the raids, the Abenaki filmmaker was informed by NFB management that she should not interview white people for her film, only natives.[1] Obomsawin disregarded this order and interviewed Lessard anyway, in an exchange that would serve as a key part of the film. When confronted by NFB management about her disobedience, she told them that no one would tell her who to interview and that while white people had interviewed Natives for years, the opposite had never been true. NFB management relented and Obomsawin was free to complete her film with relatively little interference—an important step forward for her in her increasing autonomy within the NFB.[1] Interview with LessardIn Obomsawin's pivotal exchange with Lessard, a member of the sovereigntist Parti Québécois, she confronts Lessard with the charge that a movement such as his that favours national self-determination for the Québécois was at the same time suppressing those rights for First Nations.[1][2] In particular, she calls Lessard to task for a comment he made to the Listuguj chief, when he said "You cannot ask for sovereignty because to have sovereignty one must have one's own culture, language and land." By the end of the film, Lessard offers a personal apology for any harm his actions may have caused the people of Restigouche.[3] Obomsawin later said that she respected Lessard for his decision to speak directly and honestly with her, even if she strongly disagreed with his actions: {{quote|I invited him to Montreal for the interview and he knew I had a lot of problems with him. Many people told him not to come, that I would make mincemeat out of him. But he came, and I admired him for that. We fought all the time, but in the end I came to understand why people voted for him. He stood his ground, and if he made a promise to his constituents, you could be sure he would do his best to keep it.[4]}}MusicIn addition to documentary material and interviews, the film also includes a musical segment in which found film on the life cycle of salmon is accompanied by a song by Willie Dunn.[5] LegacyMi'kmaq director Jeff Barnaby, who witnessed the 1981 raids first-hand, has stated that Incident at Restigouche was an inspirational film for him: {{Quote|That documentary encapsulated the idea of films being a form of social protest for me, and that's something that didn't even dawn on me until I was much older. It started right there with that film.[6]}}References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last=Lewis|first=Randolph|title=Alanis Obomsawin: The Vision of a Native Filmmaker|publisher=University of Nebraska Press|date=January 1, 2006|pages=48–53|isbn=0-8032-2963-1|url=https://books.google.com/?id=M_PopFVwU9cC&pg=RA1-PA51&dq=%22Incident+at+Restigouche%22&cd=5#v=onepage&q=%22Incident%20at%20Restigouche%22&f=false}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Beard |first=William |author2=Jerry White|title=North of Everything: English-Canadian Cinema Since 1980 |publisher=University of Alberta Press|date=June 1, 2002|page=372|isbn=0-88864-390-X|url=https://books.google.com/?id=iLNhHWfarosC&pg=PA373&dq=%22Incident+at+Restigouche%22&cd=7#v=onepage&q=%22Incident%20at%20Restigouche%22&f=false}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Gittings|first=Christopher E. |title=Canadian national cinema: ideology, difference and representation|publisher=Routledge|date=Dec 29, 2001|page=218|chapter=Incident at Restigouche|isbn=0-415-14282-2|url=https://books.google.com/?id=uvVZgPMH1RUC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Canadian+National+Cinema:+Ideology,+Difference+and+Representation.#v=onepage&q=Restigouche&f=false}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nfb.ca/film/incident_at_restigouche|title=Point of view|last=Obomsawin|first=Alanis|work=Incident at Restigouche web page|publisher=National Film Board of Canada|accessdate=18 February 2010}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Armitage|first=Kay|author2=Kass Banning |author3=Brenda Longfellow |author4=Janine Marchessault |title=Gendering the Nation: Canadian Women's Cinema |publisher=University of Toronto Press|date=July 1999|page=83|isbn=0-8020-7964-4|chapter=The Documentary Practice of Alanis Obomsawin|url=https://books.google.com/?id=5_sxWqBMlbQC&pg=PA83&dq=%22Incident+at+Restigouche%22&cd=10#v=onepage&q=%22Incident%20at%20Restigouche%22&f=false}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/strombo/videos/web-exclusive/jeff-barnaby-the-incident-at-restigouche|title=Jeff Barnaby recalls the incident at Restigouche|last=(interview)|work=George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight|publisher=CBC|accessdate=20 September 2014}} External links
