It was a wonderful experience making the film and I am truly honored by the way in which the native community and others have embraced it over the years.

JULY 20TH, 2019 +11AM -
LAWTON, OKLAHOMA
ACTION ALERT
The Indigenous Environmental Network is proud to partner with United We Dream, Black Lives Matter OKC, Dream Action Oklahoma and the ACLU of Oklahoma to demand the current administration #ClosetheCamps.
The administration is moving to make the former Indigenous concentration camp and Japanese Internment camp, Fort Sill, a concentration camp for our Indigenous relations seeking to cross the so-called American 'border."
We know the historical trauma and cultural loss that comes along with the pain of concentration camps, of the American government tearing babies from the arms of their parents, and we have the moral responsibility to protect these families many of whom are migrating due to the climate chaos caused by Americans.
