As part of this year’s Tribal Lands and Environment Forum: A Virtual Gathering, we will be doing a special cultural event following the opening plenary and we want it to feature your Tribe! We want to highlight as many Tribal Nations and Native Villages that want to share their stories and their music and are inviting you to share a 1-3 minute long video of dance, music, harvests, cooking demonstrations, traditional plants, stories, jewelry, regalia, artist demonstrations – anything that you would like to share with your colleagues from your Tribe’s culture. You can view the 2020 TLEF:VG Cultural Event at http://bit.ly/2020TLEF. We would also love to share music important to your Tribe as part of our event and will be sharing music file submissions throughout the conference.

Submissions require: 1) filling out the Google form at http://bit.ly/TLEFVideoMusicFormRequest as soon as possible for planning purposes and to assist us in labeling your video or music file, and  2) uploading your file to https://bit.ly/CulturalVideos2021 no later than Monday, July 26. Please name your file with the title of the video or music as you identified it in the Google form.
