A great nature film not just narrated by an Indigenous person but from an Indigenous perspective. Got to watch this film at the NAFWS SW regional conference.
A new film, “The American Southwest,” narrated by activist and model Quannah Chasinghorse, takes viewers on a journey down the Colorado River to explore its diversity and fragility.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Wow, I feel very lucky that there were a few left at B&N in westside ABQ 😁. My husband saw the title & said "hey, that's about me"😆. I don't think he saw the extra "hunter". The book is not signed but hopefully one day I'll get it signed 😉.
