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.

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.
