HEALING
Showing the film allows us to create spaces for trauma-informed dialogue around Indian Boarding Schools. We go beyond that with panels, discussions, and educational talks, allowing for an in-depth understanding of the making of the film, possibilities to forge connections, share resources, and build solidarity.
COMMUNITY
SCREENINGS
Community screenings are typically hosted in collaboration with partner organizations, community leaders, and are ways to create space for sharing & healing, spark conversation, and take action.
Bringing Remaining Native to community in accessible ways means that more people are able to engage with the film.
Panels & Talks
Panels, discussions, educational talks all allow for an in-depth understanding behind the making of the film, forge connections, share resources, and build solidarity.

COORDINATED INITIATIVES
Remaining Native hosted a series of free screenings in Nevada (and beyond) in recognition of September 30, The Day of Remembrance for U.S. Indian Boarding Schools, also known as Orange Shirt Day—a time to honor and remember the children taken from their families and placed in residential schools.
We developed strong partnerships to help us engage with the community and continue to raise awareness around the history and legacy of Indian Boarding Schools.
Attendees were encouraged to wear orange as a visible act of solidarity!
