Scha'nexw Elhtal'nexw Salmon People: Preserving a Way of Life
Despite wildfire smoke and a depleting fishery, Lummi families fish for sockeye salmon. The film, which explores the deep spiritual and cultural connection between the Lummi and salmon, lifts values of respect, gratitude and sharing as they are passed onto the next generation. Through the Scha'nexw Elhtal'nexw, the Salmon People, we learn that protecting salmon and this lifeway is a full-time job.
Freedom Hill
Princeville, NC sits atop wet, swampy land along the river. In the 1800s, the land was deemed uninhabitable by white people. After the Civil War, this indifference left it available for freed enslaved Africans. Once called ‘Freedom Hill,’ it was gradually established as an all Black town. But the town has been inundated with flooding...and with each flood, a little more of the small town erodes.
Our World
How can we protect our world? The inactions of individuals, industries and governments speak volumes when it comes to our planet and climate change. Scientists agree that humans are the cause of global warming, and the frequency of catastrophic weather events like droughts and floods is evidence that we cannot continue to consume resources at the rate we have been.
WORLD recognizes the importance of climate change, spotlighting stories of conservation from Southeast Louisiana to Aotearoa, New Zealand to the Arctic Circle. What actions, big or small, can you make today to create positive change for your community and the Earth tomorrow?
