Castleton, VT (10/17/2022) — Join Castleton University for a screening of the 2020 film "Gather" on Oct. 20 at 12:30 p.m. in Jeffords Auditorium.

"Gather" is an emotionally intimate expression of the growing movement amongst indigenous people in America to reclaim their spiritual, political, and cultural identities through food sovereignty while battling the trauma of centuries of genocide.

The film follows Nephi Craig, a chief from the White Mountain Apache Nation, who is opening an indigenous cafe as a nutritional recovery clinic; Elsi Dubray, a young scientist from the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation, who is conducting landmark studies on bison; and the Ancestral Guard, a group of environmental activists from the Yurok Nation working to try and save the Klamath River.
