Join us on opening night as we kick off the tenth Mother Tongue Film Festival! Leading into our opening film, The Zotigh Singers offer a welcome song.
Award-winning Cree filmmaker Tasha Hubbard’s feature-length film “Singing Back the Buffalo” is an intimate story of reimagining North America through the lens of buffalo consciousness and a potent dream of what is within our grasp.
