Join us for a special screening of the short documentary We Are Made from the Land: Protecting the Seal River Watershed, shown in conjunction with Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest.This moving film highlights the Seal River Watershed Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) Initiative — one of the largest land protection efforts underway in the world, located in the heart of the boreal forest in Manitoba, Canada.
Hear personal accounts of this powerful place, firsthand perspectives on the trauma of historic land separation and the healing power of recent collective action to protect Indigenous Dene and Cree Nation land.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with co-producer Stephanie Thorassie (Sayisi Dene First Nation), the Executive Director of the Seal River Watershed Alliance; IPCA collaborator Jeff Wells of the National Audubon Society; and field ornithologist Nathan Senner with Mass Audubon, which is engaged in a 30x30 initiative to preserve 30 percent of Massachusetts land by 2030.
A reception will follow the talk.
