Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and Lake Superior State University are teaming up to host a screening of two films, All Too Clear & Sacred Waters: A Double-Feature Film Screening, at the LSSU Kenneth J. Shouldice Library, 906 Ryan Avenue in Sault Ste. Marie, on Thursday March 19 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

There is no charge to attend. Light refreshments will be served. Reserve a spot at www.eventbrite.com/e/all-too-clear-sacred-waters-a-double-feature-film-screening-tickets-1982387081124?aff=oddtdtcreator

The evening’s agenda will also include a Q&A discussion with a Sault Tribe moderator and panelists. The two featured films are “All Too Clear: Beneath the Surface of the Great Lakes” and “Sacred Waters: Anishinaabeg Naagd
awenmaanaanig Giigoonhkewin (The First People Taking Care of the Fishery).”

All Too Clear uses cutting-edge underwater drones to explore how quadrillions of tiny invasive mussels, known as quaggas, are re-engineering the ecosystem of the Great Lakes at a scale not seen since the glaciers. To capture this epic change, the husband-and-wife filmmaking team of Zach Melnick and Yvonne Drebert spent more than 150 days filming underwater, making it the most ambitious underwater film ever made about the Great Lakes. Part scientific exploration, part natural history adventure – the film showcases freshwater wildlife and environments like never before.

Sacred Waters explores the importance of the fishery to the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians and how it is working to ensure a healthy fishery for the next seven generations. The Sault Tribe is the largest indigenous tribe east of the Mississippi and has been stewarding the fisheries of their Great Lakes territory for generations.
