Program Description

Watch a free film screening of Missing from Fire Trail Road. Refreshments provided, while supplies last.

A riveting documentary detailing the case of Mary Ellen Johnson-Davis, a Native American woman who disappeared in 2020. Her story exposes how Indigenous women continue to go missing in the USA, perpetuating trans-generational trauma on reservations. 

"In 2020, Mary Ellen Johnson-Davis disappeared from the Tulalip Indian Reservation near Seattle. With her investigation at a standstill, her sisters and tribal members seek answers and quickly uncover a harsh reality: Indigenous women are murdered at an alarming rate, and complex tribal jurisdictional issues have turned reservations into lawless zones and hunting grounds for predators. This documentary film sheds light on the historical roots and modern-day consequences informing generational trauma and discrimination faced by Indigenous women today" 

The first 10 attendees of this program with receive a free pass to visit the Ziibiwing Center of Anishinabe Culture & Lifeways.

Join our True Crime Club for a special discussion of "Missing From Fire Trail Road", a film by Sabrina Van Tassel immediately following the film screening.
