Lecture and Screening: “Older than the Crown”
Presented by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. “Older than the Crown” is a 30- minute documentary that chronicles the trial of Sinixt tribal member Rick Desautel who, in 2010, was charged with hunting as a nonresident and without a proper permit in Canada. Desautel harvested an elk on the ancestral land of the Sinixt people in Vallican, British Columbia. The legal proceedings that followed led to abolishment of the Sinixt’s declaration of extinction brought forth by the Canadian government in 1956. The lecture, which follows the screening, will be presented by Gonzaga alumna Shelly Boyd, one of the film’s producers.
