The Land Returns: Documentary Screening & Filmmaker Q&A

Indigenous nations are regaining their land. The Land Returns chronicles a surprising new way that Indigenous nations are regaining their land: individual settlers, local governments, environmental organizations, and even corporations are returning stolen land to Indian nations as part of a growing grassroots movement of restitution and reconciliation. The film explores three Land Back stories, including the Wiyot people's repatriation of their sacred Tuluwat Island on Humboldt Bay. In 2004, the City of Eureka returned 40 acres of the island to the Wiyot Tribe, and the relationship built over decades laid the foundation for the return of the rest of the island. Following the screening, join us for a live, in-person Q&A with the filmmakers. Presented by the Eureka Theater and sponsored by Redwood Coast Energy Authority and KEET-TV.
