Film Premiere: Healing Forest
Can we heal the soil? Can people and land be woven back together?
Healing Forest tells the story of an unprecedented collaboration between SUGi and the Yakama Nation community. This short film brings the forest's remarkable growth and nourishing power to life.
As you watch the film, you enter the forest and become part of a movement to partner with Tribal communities to weave a renewed sense of healing and possibility across the First Nations of the United States.
