Beaver: A Medicine of Possibility
Co-produced by INDIGENOUS LED and Beaver Institute, Beaver: A Medicine of Possibility is a short film that explores how Beaver—nature’s master builders—offers us invaluable lessons in connection, rebuilding, and healing. Through their behaviors and roles in ecosystem engineering, Beaver inspire us to reconnect with nature, rebuild our communities, and heal the fractured relationships between humans and the natural world.
Beaver: A Medicine of Possibility will be available to screen on a sliding scale, with proceeds supporting the development of an InterTribal Beaver Council by late February 2025. Throughout 2025, we plan to screen the film in Native communities, focusing on tribes interested in advancing beaver stewardship, restoration, and coexistence. To realize this vision, we’re aiming to raise $25,000 to support these community gatherings and screenings. To stay in touch about the roll-out in 2025, as well as how to screen in your community, and support the development of an InterTribal Beaver Council, please sign up here.
On February 11 (12pm PT / 3pm ET), INDIGENOUS LED and Beaver Institute will officially launch a Beaver Medicine Movement to share how you and your community can be involved in weaving the world alongside Beaver.
To support the InterTribal Beaver Council, please contribute via INDIGENOUS LED’s website and note that the funds are restricted to Beaver.
