Gespe'gewa'gi: The Last Land
Gespe'gewa'gi: The Last Land is a Canadian television documentary series, which premiered on APTN in 2021.[1] The series profiles a group of Mi'kmaq fishermen from the Listuguj Miꞌgmaq First Nation in Quebec, centering both on their lifestyles and on the larger societal issue of traditional indigenous fishing rights.[2]
The series was created and directed by Ernest Webb for Rezolution Pictures, and premiered on February 13, 2021.[1] It received two separate weekly broadcasts, one in English and one in Mi'kmaq.[3]
In August 2021 it was announced that the series had been renewed for a second season, which will further expand to profile other Mi'kmaq communities in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.[4]
