Native Spirit Foundation is a non-profit, Volunteer-run organisation founded by Mapuche leader Freddy Treuquil to bring knowledge and awareness of Native cultures, and longer-term Community educational projects supporting Escuela Nueva.
“All the [activists] have come to the conclusion that one objective of making video, radio and television is for the other culture to know us. It is necessary to create a bridge to share our culture in an educational form, without losing our identity.” Freddy Treuquil.
Native Spirit Festival is the UK’s premiere and only Independent annual festival of films, talks and performances to celebrate cultural heritage, showcasing Indigenous Cinema, MediaMakers and Artists. 13 Moons and Outreach events take place throughout the year in collaboration with SOAS Native Spirit Film Society and other partners.
