Come join the UNC American Indian Center for a film screening of the new documentary "Gather", a depiction of Native foodways across Indian Country. We will watch the film together, hearing from Native farmers, gatherers, and chefs about how they are carrying forward traditional foods. Stay for the Zoom discussion group afterwards to discuss the film and how it connects to food work in our own communities. Across North Carolina, Tribal Nations have vibrant living traditions of annual harvests, feasts, community gardens, and traditional foodways celebrations. Food sovereignty is a timely topic, and we look forward to discussing both this film and our local movement!

We appreciate you *gathering* with us tonight to watch this important documentary and think about food sovereignty and food traditions within our own local communities and Tribal Nations. 

We are so grateful for all of our elders, knowledge keepers, farmers, growers, seedsavers, garden tenders, plant nurturers, farmworkers, processors, and cooks who keep our food traditions strong here in our own local communities. We come together to share and pass down Indigenous food knowledge to the next generations.
