NLC is grateful to the Island Foundation for the generous support of the “Indigenous teachings with the elements,” a four-part series of mini-documentary films.

Fire

The last in a four-part series on the elements. Fire is essential for warmth, cooking, ceremony, and as a tool. It keeps our relationships nourished and heals our souls.

Air

The third in a four-part series. Air sustains life processes and plays an essential role in Indigenous culture.

Water

The second in a four-part series. Water, the life force that binds all things to one another. Indigenous people share their connection with water.

Earth

The first in a four-part series. Earth is the mother of all life. Aquinnah tribal citizen David Vanderhoop defines the indigenous connection to the earth.
