This World Is Not Our Home is a short, immersive documentary film into the life story of Elvina Brown, the oldest member of the Pomo Indian Tribe in northern California. Narrated by her granddaughter and told first-hand by Elvina, This World Is Not Our Home shares Elvina's experiences, perspective and perseverance as a Pomo Indian through a century of change, including a US government relocation off the reservation to the city, the Native American takeover of Alcatraz Island and the transitions of modern day life back on the reservation. Utlimately, Elvina's respect for the heritage of her culture and her faith in Mother Earth and the Great Spirit help her and her tribe embrace change and prevail. Created to supplement a curriculum of Native American studies and is appropriate for students of all ages. Winner of the Bronze Medal by National Education Association, Native American Film Festival, and Women Make Movies (national tour)
