WEST SHORE + FREE LEONARD PELTIER (Seattle International Film Festival 2025)

We paddle because our ancestors did. We paddle because our children need to. We tell these stories because they carry us home.

We’re proud to announce that West Shore has been officially selected for the Seattle International Film Festival—our first time being part of this prestigious event, and one of our shortest documentaries!

🎥 Screenings: May 17 & 18 in Seattle
🌐 Streaming: May 26-June 1 on the SIFF Channel

West Shore follows our Canoe Family during the 2023 Paddle to Muckleshoot. It’s a story about returning to the water, returning to our teachings, and lifting up the healing that happens when we do things together—one paddle at a time.

It’s about what our people learn on the canoe—
🛶 Confidence
🛶 Connection
🛶 Responsibility
🛶 Culture

And when you buy your ticket, you’re also supporting the screening of “Free Leonard Peltier”, a film that calls us to remember our elders, our fighters, and the work that’s still ahead.

🎫 Tickets available now: https://www.siff.net/festival/west-shore

We invite you all—elders, youth, families, canoe aunties, and city cousins—to come share in this moment with us. Let’s show SIFF the strength and beauty of Indigenous stories.
