On the Eastern reaches of the occupied territory, now referred to as North America, the children of Koluskap call upon ancestral teachings to guide them. Revitalizing cultural practices kept from their elders, Peskotomuhkati young people lead an intergenerational healing process through the reclamation of athasikuwi-pisun, "tattoo medicine."


BRING HER HOME

Directed by: Leya Hale | 57 min | 2022 | USA

Despite the lasting effects of historical trauma, each woman must seek healing while navigating the racist systems that brought about this very crisis.
