Coming Home:
The Making of Little Bird

November is Native American Heritage Month. To honor local Coast Miwok People, upon whose unceded land this congregation gathers, the Social Justice and the Adult Spiritual Development Teams are planning to offer Coming Home, the compelling feature-length documentary by director Erica Daniels. The documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of the production of the acclaimed dramatic series Little Bird on PBS and tells of the groundbreaking movement for Indigenous narrative sovereignty as experienced through the series’ Indigenous creatives and crew. The story of Little Bird itself takes place in Canada during the 60s when Indigenous children were taken from their families and put in boarding schools. This practice took place right here in Marin County as well. The documentary is both jarring and hopeful, as we hear the stories of those affected by this practice and learn of the healing they have encountered through the telling. We will have an opportunity for discussion afterward. Please join us.
