In partnership with UNYA, Reel Causes presents Indigeneity, an event that brings together two films that celebrate connection, resilience, and cultural pride within Indigenous communities: Honored by the Moon and Aitamaako’tamisskapi Natosi: Before the Sun.

Before the Sun follows a young woman’s journey preparing for the Indian Relay, highlighting her deep connection to heritage and self-determination. Logan Red Crow finds connection as she prepares for one of the world’s most dangerous horse races.

Honored by the Moon features intimate accounts from queer Indigenous people, sharing their stories for the Minnesota American Indian AIDS Task Force to combat homophobia within the Indigenous community.

There will be a post-film discussion with filmmaker Banchi Hanuse and Logan Red Crow, moderated by curator Chis Reed.
