Triangle Native American Film Festival celebrates Indigenous storytelling in RaleighRALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Triangle Native American Society welcomed moviegoers to the second annual Triangle Native American Film Festival, a daylong event celebrating Indigenous storytelling through films created by Native American directors and featuring Native American actors on Saturday.
"Storytelling is so important to Indigenous communities, and through film you can find interesting ways to tell those Native stories," said Trey Roberts of the Triangle Native American Society.
"We still are fighting against a lack of visibility and a lack of knowledge of our stories told by our people," said Jesalyn Keziah, executive director of the Triangle Native American Society.
"To be able to bring Indigenous films to this place is very special to me," Roberts said.
The Triangle Native American Society plans to host additional events throughout the year as it continues its mission of promoting Indigenous culture, education and community engagement.
