The makers of the new film “Gather” assert that Native food rights are human rights and food helps keep Native people connected to culture.

The film tells personal stories of food warriors from the White Mountain Apache, Yurok and Lakota nations that exemplify the importance of maintaining Indigenous foods in the face of centuries of colonial efforts to break that connection. The film, directed by Sanjay Rawal, is a New York Times Critic’s Pick.

Native America Calling will speak with Rawal and some of the film’s subjects about their work and how it strengthens Indigenous food sovereignty.
