Gather
Gather is a new film and journalism project on Native American Food Sovereignty.
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.

Our director ‘s film 3100 RUN AND BECOME (3100film) is now available for rent and purchase on iTunes and Amazon and Google Play. And yes! There is a food sovereignty story embedded in this epic running film - the Kalahari Bushmen fighting for their rights to run and hunt! It’s a tale that needs urgently to be told and it found a home nestled in this adventure running film! Check it out. For runners we think watching the film is the equivalent of a long run 😂 For non- runners, it’s a great way to supercharge the beginning of the New Year with health and spirit! 3100film @wings_of_america @yazziemartin Survival International #runandbecome @haroldbennally

In 3100film (3100: Run and Become) Shaun Martin (Diné) attempts to retrace the escape route his father Allen Martin took from boarding school in Leupp AZ to their homesite, west of Gap, AZ. Shaun is a teacher himself now on the Rez and Race Director of the Canyon de Chelly Ultramarathon. He is also on the Board of the film’s production partner @wings_of_america . Billy Mills said of the film, “Whether you’re a runner or someone looking to transform your life, inspiration can be found if you have the courage to look within. A film like 3100: Run and Become is the perfect starting point.” The film is on iTunes Amazon and Google Play. Link in profile. The film was directed by Gather’s Director Food Chains @ Leupp, Arizona
Navajo runners, Kalahari Bushmen fighting for their food sovereignty (and chasing their food by foot) and folks running around a 1/2 mile loop in NYC?? Interested in traditional, ancestral and spiritual practices? Please give our director @mrsanjay ‘s film 3100film a watch. It’s on iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. Native Faith Keeper Oren Lyons (Onondaga) and Native Olympic Gold Medallist Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota) hosted the theatrical premiere in Santa Fe with @wings_of_america last August. The film played first to Native audiences before hitting urban centers. Thrilled to share it with you all!! @quinnthenavajo
If you don’t already, please give @tankabar and @tankafund a follow. 150 years ago, capitalism and resource-driven lust motivated the wanton slaughter of bison - from a population that numbered more than 60 million and stretched from coast to coast, to less than 25 individual heads. Part of the modern approach to rebuilding herds and buffalo culture is to find ways, as capitalists say, to have win-wins. Tanka provides such opportunities- for Buffalo ranchers to make a living doing what their ancestors did and living off the Buffalo. Yet the same greed that subjugated the Buffalo people once is trying to do so again. General Mills-owned @epicbar has hurled millions to snuff Tanka’s market share. Don’t let them win #supporttanka (photo during a film shoot on the Cheyenne River Lakota Rez with @fredericksdubray @beaudubray @elsiedubray )
