ARI Supported Project:

Indigenous Testimonies at Mission Santa Cruz Film Project
This short film project features tribal members from the Ramaytush, Mutsun, and Amah Mutsun communities speaking about what they would like visitors to Mission Santa Cruz to understand about their tribal communities and the missions. By centering Indigenous Californian voices in the mission space, this film has the potential to create a profound shift in the narrative encountered by thousands of annual visitors. The Equity & Innovation grant will support the remaining cost of the film’s post-production, full accessibility, and a public opening event for the film. *(project was also awarded an Equity and Innovation grant)
