How Your Contribution Supports Indigenous Communities

In The Spirit of Reciprocity

Thanks to the generous support of the SAND community, we successfully raised essential funds to address the immediate needs of the Munduruku people in Sawré Muybu.

SAND is a nonprofit organization under section 501.c.3 of the US tax code. Its headquarters are on the unceded ancestral territories of Coastal Miwok and Southern Pomo Land in Sebastopol, CA. We thank the past, current, and future Indigenous stewards of this territory.

Your donation will go 100% to the village and it is tax-deductible.If you’d like to send a check or a bank transfer, please contact us for more details.

With Katô: Dreams of Dark Earth, at least 50% of the funds we receive—after covering costs—
are directed to Indigenous-led initiatives in the territories where we filmed.

When you donate to watch the film, you help support the following project:

Housing for Indigenous Students

R$15,000 (~USD 3,000) Many students from other villages travel to attend high school in Sawré Muybu and currently do not have a stable place to stay while studying. The community would like to build a simple lodging space so that young people can continue their education without having to leave their territory and face the social risks often encountered in nearby cities.

Backup generator for the community

R$23,000 (~USD 4,600) The village primarily relies on solar panels for electricity. However, during the rainy season sunlight becomes scarce and the community is often left without reliable power. A generator would provide essential backup electricity during periods of low solar energy.

Solar inverter for Aldira Akai’s house

R$4,000 (~USD 800) The inverter that powers Aldira Akai’s home recently burned out. Replacing it would restore the solar system that supplies electricity to her house.

The Eternal Song

12 FILM SERIES

Over the next two years, we will release a total of 12 full-length films featuring different indigenous traditions. Each film opens a portal into the ancestral wisdom of these cultures, calling us to remember, grieve, heal, and act.
