 Holder\n\nSHELLMOUND\n\nThis local film tells the story of how one location 
 in Emeryville was transformed from a center of pre-historic cultures to a 
 commercial mecca for modern people.  Before modern developers transformed 
 this site, it was host to a decrepit paint factory that leaked toxic waste 
 into the San Francisco Bay. This important film examines the decisions made 
 during the toxic cleanup, excavation, and construction through the eyes of 
 the City of Emeryville, the developer, the archaeologists, and the Native 
 Californians who worked on the site.\n\nIN THE LIGHT OF REVERENCE\n\nTen 
 years in the making, this important documentary explores American 
 culture’s relationship to nature in three places considered sacred by 
 native peoples: the Colorado Plateau in the Southwest, Mt. Shasta in 
 California, and Devils Tower in Wyoming. Rich in minerals and timber and 
 beloved by recreational users, these “holy lands” exert a spiritual 
 gravity which pulls Native Americans into conflicts with mining companies, 
 New Age practitioners, and rock climbers. Ironically, all sides see 
 themselves as besieged. Their battles tell a new story of culture clashes 
 in an ancient landscape.\n\n"In the Light of Reverence" juxtaposes 
 reflections of Hopi, Wintu and Lakota elders on the spiritual meaning of 
 place with views of non-Indians who have their own ideas about how best to 
 use the land. The film captures the spiritual yearning and materialistic 
 frenzy of our time.\n\nOur DVD (released in January 2003) includes seven 
 additional scenes, an extended interview with Lakota scholar Vine Deloria, 
 Jr., a new, eleven-minute short film on Zuni Salt Lake and Quechan Indian 
 Pass, and interviews with the filmmakers.\n\nThe film is narrated by Peter 
 Coyote and Tantoo Cardinal. It premiered in San Francisco on Saturday, 
 February 17, 2001 at the Palace of Fine Arts. It received the Best 
 Documentary Feature Award at the American Indian Film Festival in San 
 Francisco. It was nationally broadcast on the PBS series P.O.V. on August 
 14, 2001 and was seen by three million people.\n\nWheelchair accessible 
 around the corner at  411  28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n
