Bringing the Circle Together was an influential free film series in downtown Los Angeles, by and about Native American, First Nation and Indigenous peoples of America. The series was held monthly from 2008 to 2012 and was a central gathering place for Indigenous peoples and their supporters to discuss issues, and share historical narratives, art, and traditions.
Bringing the Circle Together was directed by Lorin Morgan-Richards with integral guidance from Tahesha Knapp-Christensen, Pamela J. Peters, and Koji Steven Sakai. Richards also partnered and cohosted with several other community organizers including Azalea Ryckman, Votan, Corine Fairbanks, Ana Castillo and Valena Broussard Dismukes to name a few.
