Program Description
Description
Join us to honor National Native American Heritage Month with a screening of the documentary Gather, followed by a facilitated discussion.
About the Film
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. The film 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.
Hosted in partnership with the Town of West Hartford's Office of Employee Development & Community Engagement.
Registration required. Registration opens one month before the program at 7:00pm.
