HEADWATERS: PADDLING THROUGH CLIMATE CHANGE
Experience an epic adventure on the Mississippi River “headwaters” with record heat during the summer of 2021 and learn from scientists and Native American leaders how to better care for the Father of Waters and Mother Earth. “A Brush with Life” This film is about the work and life of Carl Homstad in rural Northeast Iowa, just outside of Decorah. Based on an exhibit at Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum, we see the works and the places that inspired them, as Carl shows us what he’s done, where and how it’s done, and why he’s done it. And at Thanksgiving dinner, we meet the people and see the places that are his inspiration. Maybe they can inspire you, too.
