Gather
Gather is a new film and journalism project on Native American Food Sovereignty.
It's harvest time in our communities. Please share your hard work this season and tag your photos #SowIndigenous. We will feature you on our feed & stories. Photos from Jon Michael Naranjo of Santa Clara Pueblo, NM. #indigenousfoodsovereignty #Nativefoods First Nations Development Institute
Our Journey Together! Our 2018 Impact Report is now out. In it we’ve highlighted Native individuals and organizations who have been on this journey with us and inspire us. We salute our supporters who made our successes possible last year. See the letter accompanying the report at http://bit.ly/2018ImpactLetter, which includes links to the full report online.
It’s hard to fathom that the inaugural @bears.ears.prayer.run.alliance relay was held just one year back. And in one week, the second edition will be held. Rather than a 5 spiked run from various Native Nations, this year indigenous youth will congregate at a single point on Ute Territory and take daily runs to different parts of Bear’s Ears. Follow them on IG and if you haven’t seen last year’s film “Sacred Strides”, look for it on Vimeo. And to this year’s batch of runners, our ❤️ s are in yours. (Too many folks to tag here. You all know who you are).

Food sovereignty and land rights are inseparable. Please go to NativesOutdoors to learn about their new film and the fight for the rights of the Gwich’in People to prevent the opening of the Arctic Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. Such devastation would irreparably harm the caribou herds on which they’ve relied for millennia. Much like what’s happening at Bears Ears, the Gwich’in are in a fight for their rights but also for the rights of all indigenous people to hunt, to fish, and to worship the Land they way they always have. Please follow Len Necefer and Greg Balkin. The film drops online March 18th but will also be touring the US thanks to Patagonia

We are beyond excited to announce that Gather will feature the music of indigenous singer+songwriter @rayezaragoza (Tohono O’odham). You might know her from the music she wrote at Standing Rock during the pipeline fight. Look for her music on YouTube and Spotify but get ready for some brand new tracks on her next album, coming out later in 2019.
