In honor of N. Scott Momaday, Kiowa, we will look at the film "Remembered Earth" followed by a discussion with documentarian, John Grabowska. New Mexico’s high desert is a captivating land of hallowed mountains, red rock canyons, and vast, sere plateaus. In “Remembered Earth”, renowned authors N. Scott Momaday and Irene Bedard, Iñupiat/ Cree, present a vision of hope for the natural world by interpreting the myth, beauty, and power of a scarred but sacred landscape in the American West. Can we come to see land itself as a community to which we belong?
