Tonight we watch an Indigenous Documentary called, "Long Line Of Ladies". This film follows a 13 year old Karuk girl as she enters womanhood and her first Moon-time, through her ancestral traditions — the Ihuk Ceremony. This Ceremony was dormant for a century due to colonial violence in Karuk Territories during the Gold Rush.
By highlighting reclamation through a communal lead, coming of age ceremony, it highlights the importance of uplifting our youth during such a sacred experience.
