The College of Arts & Letters/College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Film Series celebrates Native American Heritage Month with a free screening of a documentary looking at how water affects the lives of some native people in our area.

Tó éí ’iiná até (Water is Life) explores the impact of industrialization and its ramifications on the environment, particularly its impact on the Navajo Nation, including political strife among tribal members and government leaders. While water scarcity and environmental degradation are growing global concerns, Peaches and Hoyungawa’s film foregrounds the efforts of the Indigenous environmental organization, Black Mesa water Coalition, and the regional efforts in Arizona to negotiate this complex economic and political crisis.

Q & A session with filmmaker Deidra Peaches to follow the film!

Masks required.
