Jessica embodies the Mohawk concept of Tentsítewahkwe as she picks up knowledge of the old ways, these slow methods of creating and connecting in reciprocity with the Earth.</p><p>"This film is at once a thank you to the Native women who imbued their descendents with blood memory of these practices and a promise to future generations of Native people that these practices will stay alive for generations to come."</p><p>Watch:<br><a href="https://www.reciprocity.org/films/tentsitewahkwe" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reciprocity.org/films/tentsite</span><span class="invisible">wahkwe</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DCEFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DCEFF</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousStorytellers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousStorytellers</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousFilms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandDefenders</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReciprocityProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReciprocityProject</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousFilmMakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousFilmMakers</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousWisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousWisdom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousReclamation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousReclamation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Reciprocity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reciprocity</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MotherEarth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Akwesasne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Akwesasne</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MohawkNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MohawkNation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalMedicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalMedicine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBasedKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LandBasedKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WomenCenteredFilms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WomenCenteredFilms</span></a></p>
