Reclaiming Our Indigenous Power Climate Convocation, part II
When: Fri., Nov. 15, 6-8 p.m. 2019
Nature is not a brand, culture is not a show! The second day of the Climate Convocation features a screening (and discussion) of the Senegalese anti-colonial director Ousmane Sembene’s film, Emitai. That work covers issues of eminent domain and land confiscation by WWII French Armies in Senegal, Africa which is very similar to US WWII land take-overs in Harris Neck, GA. In both cases, the stewards of the land were forcibly displaced. "respect our customs, our culture, our land" (Metuktire, 2019) Indigenous Amazon leader.
