DVD 2021

A reference and ode to Chief Seattle's Treaty of 1854, this is a collection of five Indigenous Documentary Shorts from across the world. As each short highlights different Indigenous stories of fly fishing conservationists in the Pacific Northwest to a young Lakota woman creating a girls' boxing team, they each embody the ingenuity and tenacity of Indigenous people across the world.
