The Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage is holding its first major film festival this weekend.
The two-day festival features short and feature-length films from Alaska, Canada and the Lower 48. Highlights include the all-Inuit "Atanarjuat" and "The Ghost Riders," which documents the annual 300-mile trek to commemorate the Wounded Knee massacre.
In addition to films, the festival includes performances, dances and cultural presentations. All events are free and open to the public.
