Synopsis

Reciprocity Project invites global Indigenous filmmakers to center Indigenous perspectives about the reciprocal relationship between all beings — seen and unseen — and the lands we inhabit. Facing a climate crisis, the Reciprocity Project embraces Indigenous value systems that have bolstered communities since time immemorial.

In Season Two of this multimedia project, storytellers and community partners created films in response to a question: What does a 'return' to land, language, community, and reciprocal relationships mean to you and your community?

Reciprocity Project is a coproduction of Upstander Project and Nia Tero in association with REI Co-op Studios.
