Film line-up:

"Know to Run: Yatika" | Directed by Jordan & Devin Whetstone
Through the eyes of Yatika Starr Fields, an Indigenous runner, artist and advocate, “Know To Run” explores the opportunity for gaining knowledge, carrying that knowledge and implementing what is learned, along with integrating respectful practices into our own lives to have good relations with ourselves, with each other and with the lands.

"Inhabitants" | Directed by Costa Boutsikaris & Anna Palmer
Inhabitants follows five Native American Tribes across deserts, coastlines, forests, and prairies as they restore their traditional land management practices. For millennia Native Americans successfully stewarded and shaped their landscapes, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain traditional land management practices. From deserts, coastlines, forests, mountains, and prairies, Native communities are restoring their ancient relationships with the land. As the climate crisis escalates these time-tested practices of North America's original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world.
