Inhabitants: Indigenous Perspectives on Restoring Our World

Costa Boutsikaris and Anna Palmer/2020/76 min/Health, Sustainable Food-Agriculture, Historical Perspectives

Film subject Dr. Michael Kotutwa Johnson of the Hopi Tribe will participate in online post-film discussion.

FILM DESCRIPTION: Inhabitants follows five Native American Tribes as they restore their relationships to the land using ancient practices that nurture life. For millennia Native Americans stewarded and shaped their landscapes, but centuries of colonization have disrupted their ability to maintain traditional land management practices. From deserts, coastlines, forests, mountains and prairies, Native communities are restoring their ancient relationships with the land. As the climate crisis escalates, these time-tested practices of North America's original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential in a rapidly changing world.
