Keeping in mind the health of our audience, filmmakers and volunteers, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Native Crossroads Film Festival. We urge all of you to practice good habits and stay vigilant with your health during this time. Please continue to support your Native filmmakers by renting their films on your favorite streaming channels or donating to their fundraising events. We will see you next year!

Not all warriors are stoic. Not all warriors are men. As fighters who take up the struggles of their people--be they men, women, or children--warriors come in all manner of guises. They are soldiers, protectors, artists, educators, and innovators who stand on the front lines, uncompromising and committed to their causes. The strong warrior tradition among American Indian people moves beyond the battlefield and motivates writers like Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist N. Scott Momaday, inspires women to care for one another in the face of gendered violence, and spurs activists who fight for the environment. The eighth annual Native Crossroads Film Festival shows us the faces of the warriors of the next generation.
