“One Word Sawalmem is a film of great power and purpose. It explains the Indigenous understanding and knowledge of the interdependence amongst all life on this planet.”

-- Dr. Stephanie Pratt, Dakota and Anglo-American art historian and cultural consultant, Native Spirit Film Festival

We will be showing their new short film, One Word Sawalmem, and having a dialogue with you around the powerful fountain of hope to be found at the intersection youth, climate resilience and indigenous wisdom.

The film was selected as a finalist in the Tribeca Film Institute short film program is fiscally sponsored by Robert Redford and the Redford Center and was selected for 20+ film festivals in more than 10 countries since its release in March 2020.
