For too long, popular entertainment media have obscured Native narratives–promoting false portrayals of North America’s Indigenous peoples that have damaged our communities. Today, Native folks are taking back their narratives and creatively exploring the variety of experiences of Indigenous Americans through an Indigenous lens. Join us in celebrating the strength and resilience of Indigenous peoples through our annual film festival.
