Documentary Film & Videography
This video was created by the young Native participants of The Guardians of the Waters youth leadership internship, a program of The Cultural Conservancy, a non-profit Native organization based in San Francisco.
Participants were steeped in traditional ecological knowledge through Native artists and scholars, who taught indigenous watercraft traditions, such as tule reed boat- and paddle-making. Through listening, discussing, group processing, and audiovisual documenting, participants explored the connections between cultural healing and ecological health, personal and collective identities, as well as traditional and new media.
