One Word Sawalmem

One Word Sawalmem, offers a worldview different than the one I was born into - one that honors the sacred relationship with life and sees humans as stewards and protectors of nature.

It's a great example of how the worldviews we inhabit inform the roles we see for ourselves.

This 20 minute film (free to watch yet requires an email) was co-directed by Pom Tuiimyali & Natasha Deganello Giraudie. It follows the journey of Pom and his tribe as they fight for the return of salmon to northern California. I was moved by the resilience of the community.

Hope you enjoy.
