May 28 – 31 Green Guerrilla(s) Griots conducted its second bootcamp training—a four-day intensive media making workshop—at the Pyramid Lake Reservation outside of Reno, Nevada for the Emerging Indigenous Leadership Institute (EILI).

Making Good Strong Leaders… EILI is a five-month leadership development program for a young Indigenous people (ages 18-30) from the Paiute, Shoshone and Washoe Tribes in Northern Nevada.

EILI cultivates a new generation of leadership committed to the protection and perpetuation of the rights, culture, and lifeways of Indigenous peoples.
EILI is founded on the principle of Indigenous-centered education and creates the opportunity for young Indigenous peoples to ground themselves in their own Indigenous knowledge systems, and utilize their culture as the foundation for learning and knowing.

S.T.A.M.P. was both excited and honored to support EILI students (for a second year) in their creative efforts to define themselves and their futures! Four powerful, personal documentaries were produced which highlighted the importance of land, language, and culture in the Indigenous communities from which these new leaders emerged.
