Snk’mip Dig Deeper Film Screening

Snk’mip Dig Deeper is not your typical nature film. While celebrating life at a marsh and documenting techniques to restore wetland habitat, this documentary delves into what happens when a settler-run conservation organization learns it is restoring a site that was in fact an ancient Indigenous village. With that knowledge comes the responsibility to ‘dig deeper’ to learn about the land’s deeper history.

The film explores how the Sinixt (the First People of the land, in what settlers call the southeastern part of BC) were dispossessed and declared extinct, how they are working toward resurgence, and explores settlers’ responsibility to work as allies for justice and reconciliation.
