Join MOHAI and the Duwamish Tribe for a screening of Promised Land. Promised Land is an award-winning social justice documentary that follows two tribes in the Pacific Northwest: the Duwamish and the Chinook, as they fight for the restoration of treaty rights they’ve long been denied. In following their story, the film examines a larger problem in the way that the government and society still looks at tribal sovereignty. Following the film there will be a panel discussion with members from the Duwamish and Chinook Tribal Councils.
This screening of Promised Land will feature captioning. ASL Interpretation and CART captioning are available during the introduction and panel discussion. In addition, a limited number of Assistive Listening Devices are available upon request. For more accessibility support, contact programs@mohai.org two weeks before the program.
