On November 14th we featured ¿Qué les pasó a las abejas?/ What happened to the bees?, produced by ABEJAS CINE, featuring Indigenous activists Gustavo and Leydi in their organization against the planting of transgenic soybeans in their territory following the death of millions of bees. The film screenimg occurred under the stars in Wiyot Plaza, with an outdoor cinema setup and sponsored by Arcata Outdoor Events.
On December 1st, due to inclement weather, Rhymes for Young Ghouls from filmmaker Jeff Barnaby was screened in the Native American Forum. This horror film follows a Mi'gmaq teenager that plots revenge against the sadistic Indian agent who imprisoned her in a residential school.
This series featured door prizes of stickers, Passamaquoddy Maple Hard Candy from Sweetgrass Trading Co., and Indigenous Bars from Wahpepah's Kitchen! At each screening 5 folks won Indigenous Bars in custom tote bags!
