Indigenous communities around the world are increasingly resisting threats to their sacred places—the original protected lands—in a growing movement to defend human rights and restore the environment. In these films, native peoples share ecological wisdom and spiritual reverence, challenge the utilitarian view of land reflected in government megaprojects, consumer culture, resource extraction and climate change. The films in this series expose threats to native peoples’ health, livelihoods, and cultural survival in eight communities around the world. Indigenous peoples tell their own stories—and confront us with the ethical consequences of our culture of consumption. Note: Friday screening is @ UMFA
