Unearthed
Through the lens of a Native Tejon (Kitanemuk) family and professional archeologists alike, Unearthed explores tensions surrounding contemporary archeological practices taking place on their ancestral homelands.
The film examines the intersections of history, spirituality, colonialism, and contemporary archaeology through the experiences of archaeologists and Native Californians brought together by an excavation.
