You are invited to a FREE showings of “H2Oil,” a movie about the Tar Sands in Alberta, Canada on Wednesday, May 11, 2011, first viewing in the Cave, 116 Main Street, at 5:00pm and once outside in the Lapwai City Park around dusk. Water is Life, “Tu Beta Ts’ena”, is the title of the second film that will be shown in the Cave immediately following H2Oil.
You are invited to come view these movies to learn first hand the seriousness of the Megaloads issue. The Nez Perce tribe has been forced into the Megaloads controversy because these mammoth metal drums are slated to travel on the Northwest Passages Scenic By Way – All American Roads Highway 12 by truck and trailer from Lewiston to Lolo Pass through the Nez Perce Reservation.
Both documentaries are moving and compelling films inspired by the First Nations of Alberta, Canada. These passionate documentaries challenges Alberta’s aggressive Tar Sands exploitation and confronts the impacts these enormous developments are having on the waters, lands, animals and people of Northern Alberta, Northwest Territories and the Mackenzie River Water Basin.
Water is important to all of us; therefore we encourage you to attend the premiere viewing of these films.
This presentation is brought to you through the partnership of the Lapwai City Council, the Nez Perce Tribe’s Energy Committee and the Lapwai Spur Committee. Contact Ann McCormack, Economic Development Planner at 208 843 7324 ex. 6 or annm@nezperce.org if you need more information.
