We’re truly excited to share the intimate and beautiful documentary, Bring Them Home, with you this month! We invite you to join us on April 28th at 6:30pm at the Galaxy Theatres Gig Harbor for this powerful film experience.
Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to bring wild buffalo back to the Blackfeet Reservation. Along the way, the initiative faces obstacles from ranchers who see the buffalo as a threat to the cattle ranches that dominate the land and are a legacy of colonization. Bring Them Home examines the deeply meaningful role that buffalo played in Blackfeet life prior to the arrival of settlers, who nearly eradicated these majestic creatures. Regarded as fundamental to a healthy ecosystem and as spiritual relatives, the removal of buffalo resulted in the loss of the Blackfeet way of life and a trauma that continues to reverberate today.
