Keeping a Native Language and Culture Alive
Step into the world of Jefferson Greene, who grew up surrounded by the melody of the Ichishkíin language in the traditional longhouses of Warm Springs. Raised by grandparents for whom English was a second language, Greene is now on a mission to keep those ancestral sounds and traditions vibrant for the next generation. This film is a soulful look at the dedication required to preserve a culture, offering viewers a rare chance to listen to the heartbeat of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs.
Inspiring Pride in Place: Telling Stories About Us, From Us
Through the lens of Paul Robert Wolf Wilson, a photographer and storyteller from the Klamath and Modoc tribes, we see Oregon’s landscapes in a profound new light. This film explores the concept of “visual sovereignty” — the power of “telling stories about us, from us.” Paul takes us into his ancestral homelands to show that true pride in place comes from understanding the deep, unbroken connection between the land and the people who have stewarded it for generations. It’s a beautiful reminder that every view has a voice.
