Native Lens Films for Earth Day
(Suquamish, Tulalip and Intertribal Native Lens Youth, USA, 2011, 75 min) Longhouse Media's Native Lens program has been teaching Native American youth how to tell their stories through digital media for the past 7 years. By using a camera the students have an avenue for self-expression, cultural preservation and social change. This selection of shorts will highlight the regional impact of climate change and ocean acidification on the Suquamish Tribe and how their community and youth want to bring awareness to these issues. The students produced a short film that was presented before the US Congress in DC as part of the Coastal America Climate Change Summit this year. In addition a selection of shorts produced by Tulalip Heritage School students that focus on the school year's guiding question, "Why Music?", will premiere.
