Klemtu has our own film now—we’re looking forward to sharing it with the world.

[Keepers of the Land Film @kotlfilm]

Keepers of the Land is a film from the Kitasoo Xai'xais First Nation based in the small village of Klemtu on the remote central coast of British Columbia—a region known as the Great Bear Rainforest. It's a story about place, and how a small community can have a huge impact.

@OwenNevin Thank you

[Douglas Neasloss @DNeasloss]

The trailer for our new Kitasoo Xai'xais film "Keepers of the Land" is out—check it out here.

[Keepers of the Land Film @kotlfilm]

The Keepers of the Land trailer is here! One small First Nation on Canada’s West Coast is taking big steps to reclaim power in a territory still rich with life. A new film from the Kitasoo Xai'xais Nation, directed by @DLeowinata and @DNeasloss.

[Douglas Neasloss @DNeasloss]

Come see our Kitasoo Xai'xais Stewardship film 'Keepers of the Land' in the small room at the Nature Positive Pavilion at #COP15 today at 10:30am. See you there. #NatureCop

[Douglas Neasloss @DNeasloss]

Our coastal guardian watchmen program is one of the best in Canada. We recently got granted #BCParks authority for enforcing conservation measures—a Canadian first, and a huge step for #reconciliation. Thanks @GeorgeHeyman and BC for the support.

[Douglas Neasloss @DNeasloss]

@IndgLed_Conserv Thank you.

[Conservation Intl @ConservationOrg]

The Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation in Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest declared a new MPA, #GitdisdzuLugyeks, that will act as a permanent safe haven for fish stocks & other marine life. This will help ensure the ecosystem preserved for the future. @CFNGBI @DNeasloss @BluNatAlliance

[Douglas Neasloss @DNeasloss]

Thanks @johnhua @GlobalBC for covering our Nation's story on #gitdisdzulugyeks tonight. Exciting times for our community and the B.C. coast.

Honoured to have joined @DNeasloss in this thoughtful, nuanced look by @futureecologies at the N American Model of Wildlife Conservation, including how Indigenous-led stewardship of grizzly bears illuminates an alternative, Decolonial model for relationships with other species.

[Douglas Neasloss @DNeasloss]

Super excited to announce our new #GitdisdzuLugyeks (Kitasu Bay) Marine Protected Area. Yesterday on #IndigenousPeoplesDay our hereditary chiefs signed the declaration, backed by our coastal guardian watchmen, council, and witnessed by the community.
