Visitors to Indian Market can experience powerful new works of Indigenous cinema while escaping the summer heat at the Get Indigenous Film Festival. Now in its fourth year, the film festival is hosted by the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts, which also organizes Indian Market.

鈥淲e started it very small,鈥� SWAIA鈥檚 executive director, Jamie Schulze, said. 鈥淲e鈥檝e grown to now three days of programming, which is exciting.鈥�

Get Indigenous Film Festival begins Friday, Aug. 14, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 16. Screenings are free, but tickets are limited, so visit to reserve your spot.

鈥楳aara鈥檡am: The Yuhaaviatam Story鈥�

The festival kicks off on Friday, Aug. 14, with the documentary, 鈥淢aara鈥檡am: The Yuhaaviatam Story,鈥� which traces the history of the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation in Southern California. Previously known as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, the tribe reclaimed their ancestral name in 2025.

鈥淭hey are a federally recognized tribe at the base of the Big Bear Mountains in Highland, California 鈥� a fairly small tribe of around 350 or so tribal citizens,鈥� said Jessica Stops, the vice president of brand marketing and philanthropy for the Yuhaaviatam tribe. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 exciting for me is that this (film) documents the profoundly difficult and triumphant history of their tribal nation 鈥� as told to them by their ancestors and lived through the eyes of their tribal citizens, and then affirmed by many other experts in anthropology and history, other professionals and government officials.鈥�

Stops is a citizen of the Crow Tribe of Montana but has worked with the Yuhaaviatam for the past seven years.

鈥淚t really, truly is their story, told by them,鈥� Stops said.

Originally created as a four-part miniseries, 鈥淢aara鈥檡am鈥� has been re-edited as a 90-minute documentary feature for the festival circuit. Stops said it is a deeply moving film.

鈥淓very time I watch it, I just get chills, and it brings tears to my eyes,鈥� she said.

鈥榊ou鈥檙e No Indian鈥�

The Get Indigenous Film Festival鈥檚 headlining film this year is a documentary, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e No Indian,鈥� which explores the controversial phenomenon of tribal disenrollment. Screenings on Friday, Aug. 14, and Sunday, Aug. 16, will be followed by a Q&A with executive producers Wes Studi (Cherokee Nation) and Tantoo Cardinal (Cree and M茅tis) and director Ryan Flynn.

鈥淭here are civil wars happening in the 近距离内射合集 States that no one is talking about, and powerful people are trying to silence the conversation around this,鈥� Flynn said. 鈥淩ightful Indigenous members of tribes are being removed, in spite of empirical evidence. 鈥� It鈥檚 because the fewer members in a tribe, the larger piece of the revenue from the tribe鈥檚 businesses those who remain get. So, if everyone gets $1,000, and they kick out half the tribe, all those who remain get $2,000 now. That鈥檚 the sick math of disenrollment.鈥�

Proponents of disenrollment claim to be combating fraud. They argue that those who have been disenrolled never should have been admitted as members of their respective tribes to begin with.

鈥淲e had a responsibility to get both sides of the story, and we did,鈥� Flynn said.

鈥淵ou鈥檙e No Indian鈥� premiered at the Dances with Films Festival in Los Angeles last year and has since screened at other festivals, including the 近距离内射合集 Nations Association Film Festival. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, Flynn said, and he believes it is already leading to change.

鈥淒isenrollments in the last year have, frankly, fallen off a cliff,鈥� Flynn said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e not aware of a disenrollment that鈥檚 happened since we started screening, and we firmly believe it鈥檚 because this community, the Stop Disenrollment movement, shines a light on something that has been operating in the shadows.鈥�

A small but vocal opposition to 鈥淵ou鈥檙e No Indian鈥� has portrayed the film as anti-casino, a characterization Flynn disputes.

鈥淲e believe (casinos) are tools that can be used by leaders to better their people. Those casinos have brought individual tribes out of abject poverty,鈥� Flynn said. 鈥溾�� I want to see these tribes grow. And I want to see their languages, traditions and cultures preserved for future generations.鈥�

IAIA Short Films

On Saturday, Aug. 15, the Institute of American Indian Arts will present a series of short films by recent graduates.

鈥淕rand Entry鈥� by Avery Hale (San Carlos Apache, San Felipe Pueblo, Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara) and Sunshine Eaton (Tesuque Pueblo, Jicarilla Apache Nation, Rosebud Lakota and Din茅) follows a group of friends traveling to a powwow.

鈥淲e were wanting to do a road trip movie around powwow life,鈥� Hale said.

In order to keep the focus on the characters and not the spectacle of the powwow, the actual powwow is never shown, only the journey there.

Along the way, the characters question their motivations.

鈥淎re you dancing for yourself and having good intentions, or are you dancing for other intentions, like for points, because 鈥� it鈥檚 a competition. It has that competitive part,鈥� Hale said. 鈥淲e wanted to talk about that inside a short film.鈥�

Another recent graduate, Ashley Reese (Oglala Lakota), will present a film she wrote and directed called 鈥淭he Light That Stays.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 really centered around honoring my own mother, but also mothers and matriarchs in all families, and especially within Native families, because in a lot of Native tribes and cultures, they say the women, and our mothers, are the backbone of our communities,鈥� Reese said.

Although Reese grew up in Portland, Oregon, she said she plans to stick around New Mexico for a while.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of Indigenous filmmakers in the area, and it鈥檚 a great place to make connections,鈥� she said. 鈥溾�� There are some really great opportunities within Native film here.鈥�

Those connections are part of what the student film showcase is all about, according to Schulze.

鈥淲hat we鈥檙e hoping to do is give an active conduit to some of our young Native emerging filmmakers who are coming directly out of IAIA,鈥� Schulze said. 鈥淚AIA has been a sponsor of this event from the very beginning. Because New Mexico is such a big film industry state, there was also an awareness that this was an opportunity for those young students to have an elevated platform.鈥�
