Directors Statement:<br />
<br />
Over 18 months, I had the honor of working in collaboration with the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation on this important documentary project.<br />
<br />
Throughout this journey, my primary aim as a director has been to amplify the Tolowa Dee-ni' community's voices and tell their story. It's a narrative of immense resilience in the face of historical trauma, as the Tolowa community actively strive to preserve and rejuvenate their rich language and cultural heritage.<br />
<br />
Every step of the way, numerous dedicated members of the Nation were deeply involved in the creative process, from its inception to the final edit. With profound respect and a deep sense of humility, my aspiration is that, together, we can share and spread their inspiring story.<br />
<br />
I'd like to specifically acknowledge my Producer Marva Sii~xuutesna Jones, a language expert and Tolowa community leader, and Me’-lash-ne Bommelyn, whose lifetime of dedication to the Tolowa language made this film possible.
