IWFF Presents
Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya
A hundred and fifty years ago, the Blackfoot people witnessed the near-extinction of bison, one of the most important links to their identity, culture and spirituality – an act that nearly destroyed the tribe. Since then, the Blackfoot have endured a century-long campaign of oppression and persecution from the United States government – a brutal and violent experience that they are only now healing from. Bring Them Home follows a small group of Blackfoot who are working to right these historic wrongs by returning wild bison to their lands – an act that would heal people, re-enliven traditional culture and bring economic opportunity to their community.
