Deep gratitude to all of our community organizations for the work that they lead. Special thanks to PIEAM, EPIC, BADWest for their help in promoting this program.
What happens when outside military forces impose borders on your ancestral homelands? What becomes of Indigenous wisdom, when colonization attempts to decenter Indigeneity for their dominant narrative? From the voyagers of Hawai‘i to Nusa Ina, to the coast of Chumash Indian homelands these documentaries explore journeys committed to keeping their ancestral legacy alive. They are the original storytellers of their lands, we are grateful to be able to share their continued stories today.
