Connecting Indigenous Territories Through Films and Dialogue

Join us for Folil Trafün (Joining Roots) festival showcases! Folil Trafün channels the power of films and dialogue to discuss themes of Indigenous Contested Lands and Rights of Nature. The showcases will explore how film and photography can advance the truth, reconciliation, and decolonization process within UBC and other communities.

These efforts are promoted to help heal historical wounds, restore Indigenous rights and sovereignty, and protect the environment through a more holistic, respectful approach that honors Indigenous knowledge and stewardship practices.
