Almost Ancestors

Lobos of the Southwest is thrilled to announce the creation of a short film, Almost Ancestors, to illustrate the parallel paths of displacement experienced by Mexican gray wolves (lobos) and indigenous peoples. Award-winning filmmaker Brišind (The Doctrine of Recovery) created and directed the film. Several Hopi cultural advisors consulted on the film to ensure cultural accuracy. Experience the story of a young Hopi woman facing displacement in a changing landscape, threatening her connection to the land and her family. Her kinship with a lobo and her call toward community guide her on an incredible journey to a sacred place called home.
