Film Screening and Q&A Panel: Gather - A Fight to Revitalize Our Native Foodways
All conference attendees will have the opportunity to stream the film Gather: A Fight to Revilitalize our Native Foodways from home all month long. Tune in for a Q&A discussion with the filmmaker and a panel of Indigenous activists, chefs and scientists featured in the film on Monday February 22nd from 6:30-8 pm.
Gather is an intimate portrait of the growing movement amongst Native Americans to reclaim their spiritual, political and cultural identities through food sovereignty, while battling the trauma of centuries of genocide. Gather follows Nephi Craig, a chef from the White Mountain Apache Nation (Arizona), opening an indigenous café as a nutritional recovery clinic; Elsie Dubray, a young scientist from the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation (South Dakota), conducting landmark studies on bison; and the Ancestral Guard, a group of environmental activists from the Yurok Nation (Northern California), trying to save the Klamath river.
