    Series Schedule: Monday, October 6 Our Nationhood (2003, 96 min). Canadian First Nation filmmaker and artist Alanis Obomsawin chronicles the determination and tenacity of the Listuguj Mi'gmaq people to use and manage the natural resources of their traditional lands. Our Nationhood provides a contemporary perspective on the Mi'gmaq people's ongoing struggle and ultimate success, culminating in the community receiving an award for best-managed river from the same government that had denied their traditional rights. Monday, October 13 Relive the Past (2004, 30 min) is the stirring story of how one tiny tribe defeated the federal and state governments' plans to build a dam that would have drowned their homeland. In the early 1970s, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Community received word that the federal government planned to pay the tiny tribe for its lush Verde River home. However, Yavapai people did not want to leave their hard-won homeland and fought to preserve their lands and way of life over a 10-year period. Monday, October 20 Woven By Their Grandmother: 19th Century Navajo Blankets (1998, 30 min).
