About
To celebrate Native American Heritage Month, MIPoPS presents two video documents of nationally beloved stewards of Native culture from this state: Vi taqblu Hilbert, Upper Skagit elder and dedicated conservationist of the Lushootseed language, and Bernie Whitebear, a son of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Sinixt Band, who became a renowned activist and a key figure in the occupation of Fort Lawton. Whitebear also co-founded the Seattle Indian Health Board, the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, and the Daybreak Star Cultural Center.
These films are crystal-clear reminders of the importance of history-keeping they capture narratives of Native advocacy and activism from the very people who lived them, preserving them as a gift and inspiration to future generations.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at maria@nwfilmforum.org
