Released in 1969, These Are My Peopleà was the first NFB film made entirely by an Indigenous crew. It was co-directed by Roy Daniels, Willie Dunn, Michael Kanentakeron Mitchell and Barbara Wilson — members of the Indian Film Crew (IFC), an all-Indigenous unit established in 1968 as part of Challenge for Change, a broader organizational initiative to use media to effect social change.  One of the first Canadian documentaries to foreground an Indigenous perspective on the history of Indigenous/settler relations, it features Standing Arrow and Tom Porter, from the Kanien'kéhaka (Mohawk) community of Akwesasne, discussing Longhouse religion, culture, and government, and the impact of settler arrival on their way of life.
