Dr. Jeff Ganohalidoh Corntassel of Cherokee Nation sits down with Gord Hill of Kwakwaka'wakw nation for the fourth episode of Frontlines Are Everywhere. Gord Hill is an artist, author, and political activist. He is the author of ‘The 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance Comic Book,’ ‘The Anti-Capitalist Resistance Comic Book,’ and ‘The Antifa Comic Book.’ He has been involved in Indigenous people's and anti-globalization movements since 1990. He began producing comics to share knowledge on the Indigenous resistance movement, before the internet had taken off as a means of research and communication. Those comics have evolved into ‘The 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance Comic Book,’ published by Arsenal Pulp Press in Vancouver. Gord Hill talks about his journey from the Army Cadets and Canadian Forces reserve to the punk scene and anarchist movement. His experience with the military gave him a background in leadership and logistics that he brings to his activism work. Gord and Jeff talk about capitalism, globalization, sovereignty, the anarchist movement, and multinational solidarities, including the Oka Crisis, Gustafsen Lake standoff, and 1999 Seattle WTO protests. Amidst global changes and conflict, Gord Hill looks to a future of community self-organization and self-sufficiency, as well as continuing to maintain and share traditional knowledge through practices including art and carving.
