Be inspired by The American Southwest, a family-friendly wildlife movie that takes viewers on an unforgettable journey down the mighty Colorado River. Narrated by Quannah Chasinghorse, the film showcases the region’s abundant wildlife, confronts the ecological impacts of dams and water overuse, and advocates for better management of the river. Made in association with Natives Outdoors, the movie incorporates an Indigenous storyline and is told through the perspective of some of the Southwest’s most charming characters such as industrious beavers, bugling bull elk, and soaring condors. The film is followed by a panel discussionhighlighting the cultural and environmental conservation needs of the Colorado River Basin and local water context featuring Sinjin Eberle from the nonprofit American Rivers; Ryan Olinger from Fork Tailed Media; Elizabeth Koebele, Associate Professor at University of Nevada, Reno; Sudeep Chandra, Foundation Professor at the University of Nevada; and Melissa Melero-Moose, Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe artist, independent curator and Indigenous basketmaking expert.
