Indigenous People’s Day – Community Film Showing

October 5, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Mankato’s Indigenous People’s Day Committee is hosting multiple showings of the film “RETURN” – Native American Women Reclaim Foodways for Health & Spirit”.

RETURN explores the food sovereignty movement occurring across the country through the stories of women championing the return to traditional food sources.

The documentary features the charismatic Roxanne Swentzell from Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico, whose Pueblo Food Experience project is transforming lives in her community. Her efforts to reclaim ancient foodways are echoed across the continent by Tlingit, Muckleshoot, Oglala Sioux, Menominee and Seneca women who share Roxanne’s passion and drive.

Through personal, character-based storytelling, RETURN offers examples of alternative pathways to health and wellness for American Indians and demonstrates how returning to ancestral food sources can strengthen cultural ties to each other and to one’s heritage.
