Remaining Native

A film still from Remaining Native shows a Native American boy in motion, presumably running, with his mid-length black hair flowing behind him. He wears a black tank top and a chain necklace that holds a soda can tab.

Remaining Native is a coming-of-age documentary told from the perspective of Kutoven (Ku) Stevens, a 17-year-old Native American runner struggling to navigate his dream of becoming a collegiate athlete as the memory of his great-grandfather’s escape from an Indian boarding school begins to connect past, present and future.

Thank you to our screening partners: Runners for Justice in Palestine – Philadelphia, Ollin Yoliztli Calmecac, Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly, Inc.
