‘Guardian of the Land’: Community film screenings

Guardian of the Land Community Screenings

See Bigfoot through the eyes of Indigenous peoples of the Nch’i-Wána, or Columbia River, in the premiere screening of OPB’s “Guardian of the Land.”

Pacific Northwest tribes know Bigfoot not as a monster but as a protector – a spiritual being that walks between the seen and unseen. This new film from OPB’s “Oregon Experience” looks beyond mainstream portrayals to explore an Indigenous perspective on the world’s most famous cryptid.
