DESCRIPTION:Two evenings of film screenings and conversation exploring local indigenous 
 perspectives on environmental and social resilience\n\nThe David Brower 
 Center and Sacred Land Film Project are pleased to host a powerful two-part 
 program exploring local indigenous perspectives on environmental and social 
 resilience. Through short films and conversation the two events will 
 address biodiversity in sacred spaces, diverse cultural definitions of 
 security, and the Winnemem Wintu’s fight against the raising of the 
 Shasta Dam. \n\nTuesday, July 7 - 7pm\nThe Resilience of Sacred Places: 
 Protecting Biodiversity\nPresented in partnership with Sacred Land Film 
 Project\nThe first evening focuses on the critical role sacred places play 
 in supporting biodiversity: according to the World Bank, indigenous peoples 
 make up just four percent of the planet’s population, and their lands 
 contain 80 percent of the planet’s species, making indigenous groups 
 crucial allies in the fight to protect the environment.\n\nJoin the Brower 
 Center for an evening of conversation, film shorts, and a post-program 
 community reception highlighting efforts to restore native cultural and 
 biological heritage. Anne-Marie Sayers (Mutsun Ohlone), Director of 
 Costanoan Indian Research, Corrina Gould (Chochenyo Ohlone), co-organizer 
 for Indian People Organizing for Change, and Pennie Opal-Plant (Yaqui, 
 Choctaw and Cherokee), one of the founders of the Idle No More San 
 Francisco Bay Area Chapter and the Refinery Corridor Healing Walks, will 
 share their work from the front lines. Arrive early to peruse offerings 
 from Heyday Books and News from Native California with Lindsie Bear in the 
 Hazel Wolf Gallery.\n\n\nWednesday, July 8 - 7 pm\nThe Resilience of Sacred 
 Places: Defining Security\nPresented in partnership with Sacred Land Film 
 Project\nIn the second evening of the Sacred Places program, the David 
 Brower Center and Sacred Land Film Project consider diverse cultural 
 definitions of security. Following a screening of selections from Standing 
 on Sacred Ground, Caleen Sisk, Spiritual Leader and Tribal Chief of the 
 Winnemem Wintu, will be in conversation with Sacred Land’s Toby McLeod. 
 Together, they will explore the Winnemem Wintu’s fight against the 
 enlargement of the Shasta Dam and ask how our society can prioritize 
 environmental protection as a key component of our shared security.   
 Arrive early to peruse offerings from Heyday Books and News from Native 
 California with Lindsie Bear in the Hazel Wolf Gallery.\n
