a short documentary by Loren Waters
about the film
Cherokee elders, like Rebecca Jim, believe that what happens to the water happens to us.
Without it, we cannot move culture forward and we cannot exist here.
ᏗᏂᏠᎯ ᎤᏪᏯ (Meet Me at the Creek) tells a story of interconnectedness and Cherokee values through the lifelong fight of Rebecca Jim, a Cherokee Nation citizen and Waterkeeper Warrior, as she leads the effort to restore Tar Creek located in Miami, Oklahoma. U.S. government officials have designated Tar Creek as “irreversibly damaged,” but Rebecca refuses to accept that.
