The Film: Aitamaako’tamisskapi Natosi: Before the Sun
We are excited to announce another Indigeneity program from our Curator, Chris Reed.
In Chris’s words, this event brings together two films that celebrate connection, resilience, and cultural pride within Indigenous communities.
Before the Sun follows a young woman’s journey preparing for the Indian Relay, highlighting her deep connection to heritage and self-determination. Logan Red Crow finds connection as she prepares for one of the world’s most dangerous horse races.
Honored by the Moon features intimate accounts from queer Indigenous people, sharing their stories for the Minnesota American Indian AIDS Task Force to combat homophobia within the Indigenous community.
Together, these films provide a glimpse into the strength, beauty, and diversity of our experiences. Where do tradition and queerness meet and how do the words we use evolve with it?
