Q&A to follow.
The Films

ᎤᏕᏲᏅ (What They’ve Been Taught), 2022
Brit Hensel (Cherokee Nation), Director; Keli Gonzales (Cherokee Nation), Executive Producer
This film explores expressions of reciprocity in the Cherokee world, brought to life through a story told by an elder and first language speaker. “ᎤᏕᏲᏅ (What They’ve Been Taught)” circles the intersection of tradition, language, land, and a commitment to maintaining balance. This film was created in collaboration with independent artists from both Cherokee Nation and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
ᎡᏘᏴ ᏥᎾᎾᏛᏁᎮ ᎠᏰᎵᏐ ᎾᏛᏁᎰ (She Carries On) (2020)
Natalie M. Welch (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), Producer; Isaac Fowler, Director; Tim Morris, Director
Among the Cherokee people in North Carolina, the cultural tradition of stickball exemplifies “more than a game.” Cherokee women played the game at the turn of the 21st century for several years and reflect on their time playing and what the game means to the past, present, and future of Cherokee people.
SWIPE (2020)
Anthony Sneed (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians), Director, Writer, Producer, Editor; Doug Barden, Producer; Zane Kalnina, Producer; Aakash Raj, Director of Photography

When 13-year-old Cricket walks past the local strip club with his friends, nothing can prepare him for who they see walking into work: his mom. With rumors starting to spread, Cricket must take matters into his own hands to clear his mom’s name and prove that she isn’t a stripper.

Peshawn Bread (Comanche/Kiowa/Cherokee), Writer, Director; Jhane Myers, Producer; Sunrise Tippeconnie, Cinematographer; Michael D. Jones, Producer/Assistant Director; Jennifer Reeder, Supervising Producer; Rob Fatal, Editor
“The Daily Life of Mistress Red” is a mockumentary that explores the world of kink, Native women and defeating white supremacy. Marie Callingbird is a Native fashion boutique owner by day and Mistress Red by night.

This project focuses on issues within the circle of Indigenous women, racism, and the acceptance of sexuality.

Register
The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) and the Alzheimer’s Association invite you to join our upcoming webinar on the National Brain Health for Tribal Nations Project, highlighting the work of four Tribal Nations working to address Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) in their communities.
It is estimated that 3 in 9 American Indian and Alaska Native people over 65 will develop dementia, compared to 1 in 9 of the overall population in the United States. ADRD conditions are marked by persistent difficulties with memory, thinking, and completing everyday activities like preparing food or sharing stories with loved ones. ADRD heightens the need for healthcare, services, and caregiving for elders.
Each program being highlighted is a grantee of the Brain Health for Tribal Nations Project – funded by the Alzheimer’s Association. During the webinar, you will hear their stories and receive practical advice about how they developed ADRD strategies specific to the unique needs and opportunities in their communities.
