The Icicle Calls Us Back was created in close collaboration with the šnp̍əšqʷáw̉šəxʷ, or p’squosa (otherwise known as the Wenatchi) Tribe, for Claire Seaman’s MA thesis. In the film, eleven p’squosa descendants share their wishes for the future of nsíq̓əlt (Icicle Creek) in their homelands. p’squosa Traditional Territory ranges from the crest of the Cascade Mountains to the Columbia River in central Washington State, including the present-day Bavarian-themed town of Leavenworth, where Claire grew up. In the film, participants share their continued connection to their homelands, how working together to apply ancestral knowledge could help mitigate some of the impacts of climate change in the area, and what they hope to see for the future in the midst of uncertainty.
