Since its founding in 1946, Idyllwild Arts has always been firmly rooted in respect for and reverence of Native American arts and culture. Each summer, Idyllwild Arts’ Native American Arts Center produces and hosts the annual Native American Arts Festival Week, designed to enhance and add depth to the Summer Program workshop experience. The week-long festival provides a provocative learning experience by bringing together distinguished artists, scholars, and cultural specialists to present performances, demonstrations, films, exhibitions, showcases, and the popular Michael Kabotie Lecture Series.

Join us for a screening of Blood Quantum (2019), directed by Jeff Barnaby. Barnaby tragically passed away in 2023 and was one of the first to explore and successfully create an Indigenous film in this genre. Special guests will include longtime friends and family who will also share about Jeff’s legacy. 

This screening is followed by a Q&A with invited guests.
