    Hi, 

    Here is some information that I just learned about. It  is the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival 
    This sounds like a great opportunity.  I encourage you to register to take part in it.  They have material you can use with your students and community groups.
     
    Native Filmmaker Initiative
     
    This is in Navajo with English subtitles.
     
    Welcome to the NFI Film Club registration page for THE TRAILS BEFORE US, a film following 17-year-old Nigel James, a Diné mountain biker as he hosts the first Enduro race in the Navajo Nation. Through revitalizing old sheep and livestock trails on his grandparents’ land, Nigel and a new generation of riders honor the connection to their land, community, and culture.
     
    By registering you are signing up for BSFI's LIVE virtual discussion, which we are still locking in, with Big Sky Film Institute's Director of Education, THE TRAILS BEFORE US film team and Montana Office of Public Instruction Indian Ed Specialist Mike Jetty. In addition to your free screening link, you will be provided curriculum materials to help provide proper context and integrate this powerful film into your classroom teachings. 
     
     
    I communicated with Mike Jetty of MT OPI and he encouraged me to share this and ask people to register.
     
    My best,
    Ruth

      Ruth Ferris , I fear I may have missed the virtual discussion, but I cannot seem to find the date and time for it. It is not indicated on the registration form, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?
