Racial and Ecological Documentary: Inhabitants
- This event has passed.
Racial and Ecological Documentary: Inhabitants
March 5 at 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm EST
Join the Land Justice Futures (formally Nuns & Nones) Focus Communities* to view two special film screenings hosted exclusively for Land Justice Futures communities. Inhabitants is an incredible documentary that lifts up why ecological and racial healing are intimately and necessarily intertwined. The film will be screened twice on two separate dates.

This feature documentary follows five Native American tribes across deserts, coastlines, forests, and prairies in the United States as they restore their traditional land management practices. Find out why Indigenous people – who make up only 5% of the world’s population – are stewards of 80% of the world’s biodiversity.
* The Land Justice Future’s Focus Community Program is a community of practice for women religious who are ready to create bold, just, and creative plans for the lands they love. Starting with a 2-year cohort experience, this program builds power, connection, imagination, and practical know-how among communities while they build land justice into the heart of their property plans.
