A poignant documentary installation that highlights the heart-wrenching stories of seven Native families from across Turtle Island, who have lost loved ones to police brutality. 
 

Through a blend of memories, personal stories, and home videos, these families honor the lives of their relatives beyond the tragic circumstances of their deaths.
 

The installation features a dynamic mix of film, storytelling, altars, writing prompts, with grief and healing circles. The installation also includes artwork on display by Native artists, local to the Twin Cities area. It includes a series of seven distinct documentary episodes, each focused on the story of a different Native individual killed from police violence.

 

The featured stories are those of: Dwan M. Belgarde, Paul Castaway, Richie Estrada, G. Ryan Gipp, Braven Glenn, Travis Jordan and Cole Stump.
