Our overarching purpose is to develop educational opportunities that honors, leverages, and utilizes local language, culture, and knowledge. More broadly, our project's goals are interrelated and multi-fold, all based on delivering a tangible, positive impact to: 1) create co-constructed, indigenous-led critical and creative learning initiatives 2) encourage cultural revitalization and retention efforts through youth involvement in cultural documentary production 3) re-connect youth to their cultural heritages by providing them a medium through which to explore and express their identities, 4) foster cross-cultural/cross-generational dialogue through film screenings, 5) build local capacity for ongoing efforts in cultural preservation and sustainable growth.
