The National Museum of the American Indian?s Native Cinema Showcase is an annual celebration of the best in Native film.

In honor of the museum’s twentieth anniversary in Washington, DC, the theme of looking back and moving forward will be highlighted in films that explore the challenges still confronting Indigenous peoples on disparate fronts, including sports, missing and murdered Indigenous women, intergenerational trauma, and rematriation of the land with buffalo.

The showcase provides a unique forum for engagement with Native filmmakers from Indigenous communities throughout the Western Hemisphere and Arctic.

Films will be available to stream on demand November 22–29, 2024, on the Native Cinema Showcase 2024 website.
