In this episode of Live Your Adventure, a series created in partnership with our 2021 One Outside Film Grant winner Brave Space Media, Samara takes us along for an evening of reconnecting with her heritage and re-indigenizing a wild place in Coast Salish ancestral territory through ceremony, prayer, and cooking indigenous cuisine.
