Each year, we work with different Native community organizations and programs on special events. Because these events often happen after our seasonal programming has already been printed on our posters, we ask that you check this link periodically to see what new and exciting things are going on.

“…its been an arduous spiritual journey with lots of pain & lots of joy! In terms of genre, it could be an extended visual essay or a video poem–who knows what box it will fit into! The land and the songs tell the story–with guidance from the ancestors…”–Dorothy Christian on A Spiritual Land Claim
Indigenous Holocaust features Indigenous Hip hop artist Wahwahtay Benais’s and First Nations United. This music video is dedicated to the children who lived and died in boarding schools.
Lujan’s film is an autoethnography that examines an urban Indian’s relationship between popular representations of Native Americans and himself as a Native American.
