Interested in environmental conservation? We will be showcasing short films from the DC Environmental Film Festival in our auditorium on Saturday, November 2, and 16 between 10am-2pm. Each Saturday will highlight one short-film. These films will spark conversation about the impact of our changing climate and importance of our attention and stewardship of our environment. Check them out during your visit! 

November 2nd featured film: The Return of Nóouhàh-Toka’na (Swift Fox)
Run time is about 16 minutes
Showtimes will occur on the hour 10am-2pm. 

Nóouhàh-Toka’na, known as swift fox in English, once roamed the North American Great Plains from Canada to Texas. Like bison, pronghorn and other plains animals, Nóouhàh-Toka’na held cultural significance for the Native Americans who lived alongside them. But predator control programs in the mid-1900s reduced the foxes to just 10 percent of their native range.

At the Fort Belknap Indian Community in Montana, members of the Aaniiih and Nakoda tribes are working with the Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute and other conservation partners to restore biodiversity and return Nóouhàh-Toka’na to the land.
