Inhabitants: An Indigenous Perspective
For millennia, Indigenous communities have successfully stewarded, shaped, and cared for their lands, but centuries of colonization have disrupted traditional land management practices. The feature film Inhabitants: An Indigenous Perspective follows five Indigenous communities across the United States who are restoring their ancient relationships with ancestral deserts, coastlines, forests, and prairies. As the climate crisis escalates, the time-tested land management practices of North America’s original inhabitants are becoming increasingly essential. This documentary was made in collaboration with Tribal leaders.
