Hello Dears,
We have recently completed our original, one-hour documentary, Voices of the Wisdomkeepers, featuring four prolific indigenous elders from Turtle Island (North-America) and West Africa sharing wisdom-keys for creating a better world for future generations.
Over the past few months, we have have held 6 screenings, receiving very positive feedback. Building upon this new release, our goals for this upcoming month are listed below, taking steps towards our greater vision – to establish a sovereign media channel on Web3, as a home for our continuously growing audience, including interactive educational and community dialogue components, especially highlighting the alignment of sovereignty and decentralization with indigenous values, in a way that people across the world can connect with.
Goals This Month:
- Host a documentary event with our community, including the filmmaker and a guest indigenous elder, engage with the community for talking circle dialogue. This will be an all-ages event with youth participants encouraged.
- Document at the upcoming event: 5th Annual Medicine Gathering, - in collaboration with the Pacific Northwest Council of Water Protectors, an indigenous elder-led event. We would document 3 elders, which would also given use for the community. This would be a part of our larger goal of continuing to gather elder wisdom content for an ongoing Voices of Wisdom series
- Continue to explore and develop our offerings for workshops and other educational opportunities (utilizing our new documentary), at the college and high-school level, along with further coordination for opportunities in the upcoming months. We will also move forward with collaborations plans with our community contacts at the Consuelo “La Peña” Cultural Center in Berkeley, CA and the Bloom Network in Fort Collins, CO and contacting colleges
