- Standing on Sacred Ground
- What: Join our MC for the evening, Ariel Luckey, and Sacred Land Film Project’s founder & director Toby McLeod for a screening of several segments from SLFP’s new documentary film series Standing on Sacred Ground. In addition to clips, we’ll hear presentations from two special guests who are featured in the film: Caleen Sisk-Franco, chief of the Winnemem Wintu tribe of northern California; and Danil Mamyev, founder of Uch Enmek Nature Park in the Altai Republic of Russia.
Tickets for the film and talk are $15 each.
Prior to the screening Sacred Land Film Project will host a special reception. Guests will have the opportunity to meet Caleen and Danil and sample a special appetizer buffet prepared by Back to Earth catering. Sourced from local, sustainably-produced and organic ingredients, the buffet will feature dishes from some of the communities profiled in Standing on Sacred Ground including Hawai‘i, Altai, and Peru. The reception will also feature a silent auction to benefit production of the film, where guests will have the opportunity to bid on unique, one-of-a-kind items donated by friends of SLFP.
Tickets for the Reception, Film & Talk are $100 each
