In this program, indigenous and native narratives are pulled to the forefront. Watch these protagonists as they learn their strength and pursue their goals.

Indigenous voices are lifted in this collection of shorts. One documentary chronicles a day in the lives of Indigenous students at N’Swakamok Alternative School. Emphasizing the value and necessity of Indigenous alternative and community spaces, the school offers students a supportive and culturally activated space to gain life skills as they pursue their academic and personal goals. In the last film, being Native American is to be challenged, to be strong and to be resilient. Join this dynamic teen activist as she shares her family and community's journey to retain the sacred rituals and values of their culture. Whether Native American, First Nation, Amazonian, or Ancient Hawaiians, indigenous voices come to the forefront in these films.
