On Indigenous Peoples’ Day (Monday, Oct. 13) you're invited to attend this special screening of the 2024 documentary Bad River, co-sponsored by Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Emory Center for Native &amp; Indigenous Studies, Paddle4Tomorrow, and HJacobs Docs.Directed by Mary Mazzio, the film offers an inspiring and visually stunning chronicle of the Wisconsin-based Bad River Band and its battle to stop an oil pipeline from polluting Lake Superior, the largest freshwater resource in America.Along the way we learn about the tribe's ongoing fight for sovereignty and rights to its homeland.It's a powerful story of resiliance and defiance -- a lesson for everyone concerned about the environmental threats we're facing today.In the words of writer Bill McKibben, the film is "a powerful chronicle of some of the saddest chapters in American history, and a hopeful picture of the emerging possibilities for power in the crucial fights of our time.”Following the 90-minute film will be a panel talkback by local environmental advocates.https://www.badriverfilm.com/the-film/ CO-SPONSORSChattahoochee RiverkeeperChattahoochee Riverkeeper provides a wide range of resources to protect and advocate for the Chattahoochee River its lakes, tributaries and watershed.<a href="https://chattahoochee.org" title="https://chattahoochee.org" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://chattahoochee.org</a>Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative at EmoryThe Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative at Emory (NAISI) is a group of students, alumni, staff, and faculty who promote awareness of Native cultures and shed light upon issues that Indigenous communities across Indian Country and on campus face.<a href="https://native.emory.edu/" title="https://native.emory.edu/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://native.emory.edu/</a>Paddle4TomorrowPaddle4Tomorrow connects youth from across metro Atlanta to each other and the outdoors.<a href="https://www.paddle4tomorrow.org/" title="https://www.paddle4tomorrow.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.paddle4tomorrow.org/</a>HJacobs DocsHJacobs Docs produces indie documentaries and hosts screenings related to the arts, environment and social justice in Georgia.<a href="https://www.hjacobsdocs.com" title="https://www.hjacobsdocs.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.hjacobsdocs.com</a>
