Environmental Film Festival!

National Museum of the American Indian Hosts Environmental Film Festival —

[Mar. 13]

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian is one of the most interesting museums in downtown Washington, DC — and a pioneer cultural center that works to emphasize a lifestyle that is green. The museum staff will be hosting filmmakers Zacharias Kunuk and Ian Mauro for the U.S. première of Qapirangajuq: Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change—the world’s first Inuktitut-language documentary on the topic— Sunday, March 27, at 2 p.m. in the circular museum’s Rasmuson Theater.

According to museum workers, “this groundbreaking documentary captures the voices of those who are often overlooked in the discussion on climate change: the indigenous communities that are disproportionately affected by it. Inuit elders recall observations and customs passed down through centuries of storytelling and how their traditional ways of life are threatened by a warming Arctic. Their insight challenges mainstream accounts and reveals why climate change has become a human-rights issue for Native people.”

The new movie screening will be broadcast simultaneously online at www.isuma.tv, an independent network of Native and Inuit media, and at AmericanIndian.si.edu/webcasts. Film makes will be online and available to answer viewers questions.

It’s been a decade now since Michael J. Fox, who is struggling with Parkinson’s, starred as the voice of Milo Thatch in the animated film Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), but not hearing the word Atlantis in the press as often has not dampened the spirits of those who search for it. Now, a team of scientists and geologists believe they may have discovered the fabled lost city of Atlantis … in Spain of all places. A U.S. lead archaeology research team believes they may have found the fabled Atlantis, a place that the Ancient philosophers and historians had mentioned as real but having been destroyed, in the mud flats of southern Spain. The exciting contemporary living history news comes as a timely announcement. Why? Because scientists believe it was washed away by a giant tsunami, one very similar to the earthquake tsunami experienced this week by the island nation of Japan.
