Beyond Recognition
Film Screening and Conversation with Corrina Gould
February 27, 2025 – 6:30 – 8:00pm
After decades struggling to protect her ancestors’ burial places, now engulfed by San Francisco’s sprawl, a Native woman from a non-federally recognized tribe and her allies occupy a sacred site to prevent its desecration. Join us for the screening of the short documentary Beyond Recognition, as it explores the quest to preserve one’s culture and homeland in a society bent on erasing them. The film invites viewers to examine their own relationship to place, revealing histories that have been buried by shifting landscapes. Beyond Recognition points to the intersection of human rights, women’s rights, and environmental protection, spotlighting a California story that has national and worldwide resonance. A conversation with filmmaker Michelle Grace Steinberg and Sogorea Te’ Land Trust co-founder/co-director Corrina Gould will follow the film.
