Wicked! The producer of the video, The Healthy Aboriginal Network, said that if you are interested you can get a free copy of the entire video on DVD from the Gitksan Wet'suwet'en Education Society in Hazelton.

Also,if you want to see it on the big screen it will be showing at the Okanagan International Film Festival in mid-April and at a few others starting at the end of March (see the "more" description of "About this video").
