Every November during Native American Heritage Month and throughout the year, the National Park Service (and other organizations) share history and the continuing culture of America's indigenous peoples.
The National Museum of the American Indian’s Native Cinema Showcase is an annual celebration of the best in Native film. This year's showcase focuses on Native people boldly asserting themselves through language, healing, building community, and a continued relationship with the land. Activism lies at the heart of all these stories. The showcase provides a unique forum for engagement with Native filmmakers from Indigenous communities throughout the Western Hemisphere and Arctic.
All films are available on demand: Native Cinema Showcase
