Inhabitants: Online Screening

Meaningful Movies Project

Join us for an online screening of Inhabitants, a feature documentary looking at Native American traditions to help fight the climate crisis

On August 5th at 6:30 pm PDT, the High School Meaningful Movies group, Wallingford Meaningful Movies and Meaningful Movies at First Church Seattle are presenting an online screening of the film “Inhabitants: Indigenous Perspectives on Restoring Our World.” It follows five Native American communities as they transform the fight against climate change with traditional land management practices. Such methods had allowed these populations to successfully live in the American climate before colonization disrupted their way of life. Now, many indigenous communities in the United States are reviving their ancient relationships with the land. The stories showcase movements across the country, such as sustaining traditions of Hopi dryland farming in Arizona, restoring buffalo in Montana’s Blackfeet reservation, maintaining forestry on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin, reviving native food forest in Hawaii, and using the Karuk tribe of California’s prescribed fire techniques. The urgency of the climate crisis has led to many turning to the past and relying on practices by North America’s original inhabitants. After the film screening, we will be having a discussion with our guest speaker, Ramon Shiloh (Not affiliated with the film).About the Guest SpeakerRamon Shiloh (Creek, Cherokee, Filipino, African) is an award-winning author and the illustrator of several books. In 2018 Shiloh was invited to host a Chef&#x27;s Table at the Smithsonian&#x27;s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. He has volunteered at educationally focused nonprofit organizations for almost three decades. As a writer, artist and instructor, he curates thoughtful insights, teaches analytic skills and applied knowledge and distributes tools relative to the creative mediums of art, food sovereignty, writing and spoken word. Shiloh focuses many of his efforts on supporting Indigenous children. He uses his knowledge of food, art and culture to help Native youth develop a connection to good health and their histories in our ever-changing world. Shiloh resides in Portland.Visit Ramon&#x27;s blog here: <a href="https://ramonshilohslameass.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://ramonshilohslameass.blogspot.com/</a> Visit Ramon&#x27;s Instagram here: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ramonshiloh/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/ramonshiloh/</a> For more information about Ramon Shiloh, feel free to visit the following links:<a href="http://www.wisdomtalespress.com/authors_artists-childrens/Ramon_Shiloh.shtml" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.wisdomtalespress.com/authors_artists-childrens/Ramon_Shiloh.shtml</a><a href="http://www.wisdomtalespress.com/books/childrens_books/978-1-937786-12-0-15-1-The_Otter_the_Spotted_Frog_and_the_Great_Flood.shtml" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.wisdomtalespress.com/books/childrens_books/978-1-937786-12-0-15-1-The_Otter_the_Spotted_Frog_and_the_Great_Flood.shtml</a><a href="https://www.powells.com/book/where-we-call-home-9781947845367?fbclid=IwAR1Om6wt2HX0DzmKBetv-8sefL-WEXjkol39n5LE6gKuRxwCl0dvdH3mqgw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.powells.com/book/where-we-call-home-9781947845367?fbclid=IwAR1Om6wt2HX0DzmKBetv-8sefL-WEXjkol39n5LE6gKuRxwCl0dvdH3mqgw</a><a href="http://www.skagitriverfest.org/news-1/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.skagitriverfest.org/news-1/</a><a href="https://suehouser.com/books/cornwhisperer/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://suehouser.com/books/cornwhisperer/ </a>August 5th at 6:30 pm PDT Event Link: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89222733676?pwd=UUR5MGY4THhOL2R1YjkzNEdod0thUT09" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Zoom Link for Screening</a> <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87414208671?pwd=YWtQMFNIc3Y5WU1EdU95SzRKRnJxZz09" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Cost: Screenings are free; We gratefully accept donations to help offset the costs of presenting the films we screen.To learn more about Meaningful Movies events and/or how to start your own volunteer-run Meaningful Movie group, go to: <a href="https://meaningfulmovies.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://meaningfulmovies.org/</a>
