Waters Wisdoms: Honoring and Reclaiming Indigenous and Ancestral Practices in the Face of Climate Disaster

Abstract

Waters Wisdoms: Honoring and Reclaiming Indigenous and Ancestral Practices in the Face of Climate Disaster is a film that centers Indigenous American and African embodied epistemologies as a response to the global climate crisis, in particular sea level rise. this film intends to honor global Indigenous embodied knowledges, the process of reclaiming ancestral heritages, and recognition of/reconnection to the harmony of the earth and our place not just within but as nature – toward viable futurity together.
