Christiansburg, VA, US
Gitr’ingithchagg is a Deg X'itan village home to 81 people. “KOYUKUK” is a meditation on mixed Indigenous identity, spirit worlds, death, language loss, residential school survival, and animal surrogates. Low-resolution camera trap footage shot in Alaska from Arctic River ecology surveys is combined with interviews of elders, and music performed and composed by the filmmaker, to find understanding and words after the deaths of fathers and grandfathers.
