The first signer of the 1855 Treaty was Chief Seattle, father of Princess Angeline.
Duwamish longhouses once flourished in and around Seattle, but in 1865 Indians were ordered out of the city. Princess Angeline and a few others refused to leave, and we watch the city growing around them, leaving them landless. This film explores the story of the Duwamish people primarily through the life of Princess Angeline, who is buried in Seattle. The past is present as we learn about their continuing struggle for tribal recognition today.

Special Guests: Sandy & Yasu Osawa

Now, more than ever, we need positive voices in the ecological crisis. Join the Meaningful Movies Project to see director Damon Gameau’s 2040, a hopeful film about climate change solutions and “exercise in fact-based dreaming.” Using only the solutions that are available to us today, Damon envisions a positive future for our children and the planet. The event will take place on Monday, July 12th at 6:30pm PT.The film takes a solutions-based approach to how we can mitigate, using the technology we already have, the enormous global issues we currently face. The main themes/solutions looked at in the film are empowerment of women and girls; marine permaculture and ocean regeneration; regenerative agriculture; renewable energy; and circular economy. It’s a story of hope, and a powerful tool to encourage people to take action.Zoom Meeting Link: zoom.us/j/96698666643NOTE: This screening will be done a bit differently than our other screenings in that you’ll log onto our Zoom meeting to receive a link and password to watch the film, and then rejoin the Zoom meeting after you’ve watched the film to discuss what we can all do now to help mitigate climate change.Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/events/550174152808572/To learn more about this and other online events, go to:MeaningfulMovies.orgmeaningfulmovies.org/events/2040/ ...

Many youth wonder whether or not they will inherit a world with clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, food that is safe to eat and wilderness left to explore. At a time when all these things are threatened by pollution and climate change, how do we support a healthy planet in the years to come? On June 24th, at Meaningful Movies first youth led event, panelists and audience members delved into these questions. Audience members watched the film Power of Us on OVEE which was then followed by a recognition of the Power of Art Competition winners, Stella Dull, Margalo Tanouye, and Agnes Dull; and a panel discussion on Zoom. Panelists included Sunrise Movement Seattle youth representative, Hannah Lindell-Smith; Meaningful Movies Intern, Natalie Johnson who moderated the event; Sai Amitha Konanki who is a rising sophomore in high school; and Emma Johnson who is a rising senior in high school. All of the panelists spoke honestly and powerfully about both their concerns about the state of our environment but also about ways to take personal and collective action. Natalie, Emma, Amitha, and rising sophomore Stella Palaveeva were the primary organizers of this event.Audience members said afterwards that how impressed they were by the event and that they were incredibly appreciative of the work of these young adults to bring attention to our climate crisis. One audience member said in an email that she was especially impressed by all of the links and related content that were included in the OVEE chat and which were researched and included by our MMP intern, Natalie Johnson. We agree so we are providing those links here for all of you: Already, more than 90% of the children on our planet are inhaling polluted air.

Learn more about The Power of Us here.: www.pbs.org/wnet/peril-and-promise/films/the-power-of-us/POWER OF US FILM DESCRIPTION: 82-year-old retired Chicagoland engineer Jim Goodman and his wife Annie are alarmed about the ever more severe climate change crisis, and know their generation has failed to adequately address it. With the environmental clock ticking, the Goodmans enlist the aid of some equally concerned young people to unleash their creativity and usher in a new generation of climate change problem-solvers. Hear from young people who have been directly impacted by the effects of climate change, like Sean Newsom who survived the 2018 wildfires in Paradise, California, and those that are working to make a difference, like Shreya Ramachandran, the high school senior who invented an innovative solution for reusing greywater to address water scarcity. With commentary from experts like Susan Casey-Lefkowitz of the National Resources Defense Council and astronaut and physicist John Grunsfeld, The Power of Us underscores the urgency of the climate crisis and shows the power of an intergenerational, collaborative movement to fight climate change, with youth leading the charge into the future. This youth-organized event was sponsored by South Seattle Climate Action, Mt Baker Meaningful Movies, West Seattle Meaningful Movies, Beacon Hill Meaningful Movies and Beacon Arts. www.pbs.org/wnet/peril-and-promise/films/the-power-of-us/To learn more about this and other online events, go to:MeaningfulMovies.orgmeaningfulmovies.org/power-of-us-power-of-art/ ...
