The Indigenous creatives from Season Two of the Reciprocity Project, in partnership with @niatero @upstanderproject in association with @rei, and supporting allies attended their first in-person gathering to build solidarity and exchange knowledge.

Facing a climate crisis, the Reciprocity Project embraces Indigenous value systems that have bolstered communities since the beginning of time. To heal, we must recognize that we are in relationship with Earth, a place that was in balance since time immemorial. This short film series invites learning from time-honored and current Indigenous ways of being while embracing narrative sovereignty.
