A 60-acre recreation area near the University of Michigan medical campus with a pool, trails leading to Cedar Bend Nature Area and Island Park, and the Border to Border Trail running through it. We'll be focusing on light maintenance and general beautification tasks to help keep the park looking great for all who visit. Specific projects will be determined based on park needs at the time, but may include activities like litter pickup, garden care, mulching, or invasive shrub removal. Some tasks may involve bending, lifting, or being in full sun, and work areas may have uneven terrain or minor tripping hazards.\n\nTake Action at the Arb! - 2-4pm, Reader Center at Nichols Arboretum:\nJoin Nichols Arboretum for an EcoWorkday to celebrate Climate Week! This event focuses on invasive plant removal and strengthening ecosystems at Nichols Arboretum. Perfect for groups, individuals, and pairs.

This 30-minute info session will provide training for volunteers to participate in this year\u2019s inventory. At the end of the session, you can choose how you\u2019d like to get involved with the project. \nSeed Library Project 3:30-4:30pm: Following the bird collision info session, stay or drop in to help the U-M Seed Library package up some Thimbleweed! Thimbleweed attracts native bees among other local fauna, so you'll be supporting a whole native ecosystem by scooping a few seeds into capsules and filling our candy ball dispenser with them. These seeds will be shared with local university community members at their upcoming Roots & Resilience event. Thanks for helping us support the local native plant and pollinators community!\n\nDay of Service Litter Cleanup, 4-6pm, Meet at the Diag Flag Pole in front of Hatcher Library.\nJoin SEAS Trash Club for an afternoon of litter clean-up in downtown Ann Arbor! All supplies will be provided. We\u2019ll meet at 4:00 p.m. at the Diag flag pole, then split up to pick up trash around the nearby streets and sidewalks of Ann Arbor.

History, spirituality, and the law collide as tribal repatriation specialists fight to return and rebury Indigenous human remains, offering a revealing look at the still-pervasive worldviews that justified collecting them in the first place.\nThe film Aanikoobijigan [ancestor\/great-grandparent\/great-grandchild] documents the emotional and vital work of MACPRA (Michigan Anishinaabek Cultural Preservation and Repatriation Alliance). This alliance, made up of repatriation specialists representing all Michigan tribes, fights to bring their Ancestors and funerary objects home from settler colonial institutions like museums, libraries, and archives. Adam and Zack Khalil\u2019s monumental and formally daring film follows the pressing struggle to rebury Indigenous human remains that have been held in sterile storage, laying bare the history of Indigenous collections and the battle to recognize and enforce the laws intended to facilitate their repatriation to the communities they were originally stolen from. Using an essayistic approach alongside v\u00e9rit\u00e9 portraits, the film celebrates the courageous individuals who carry out this hard and emotionally draining labor of return. \n\n\u2014Sundance Film Festival\n\nAanikoobijigan [ancestor\/great-grandparent\/great-grandchild] directors Adam and Zack Khalil are members of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. They are co-directors and co-editors of the feature documentary INAATE\/SE\/ [it shines a certain way. to a certain place.\/ it flies. falls.\/] (2016) which premiered as the closing night film of the Museum of Modern Art\u2019s Doc Fortnight Film Festival, and the experimental documentary short The Violence of a Civilization without Secrets (2017) which premiered at Sundance. The Khalils are core contributors to New Red Order, a public-secret society which calls attraction toward indigeneity into question, yet promotes this desire, and enjoins potential non-Indigenous accomplices to participate in the co-examination and expansion of Indigenous agency. \n\nAdam Khalil is an artist whose practice attempts to subvert traditional forms of image-making through humor, relation, and transgression. A co-founder of COUSINS Collective, Khalil\u2019s work has been exhibited or screened at the Museum of Modern Art, Sundance Film Festival, New York Film Festival, Tate Modern, HKW, Walker Arts Center, Lincoln Center, Palais de Tokyo, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Creative Time, Toronto Biennial 2019, Whitney Biennial 2019, Sharjah Biennial 15, Counterpublic Triennial 2023, among other institutions. Khalil is the recipient of various fellowships and grants, including a 2021 Creative Capital Award, a 2020 Herb Alpert Award, a Jerome Artist Fellowship, the Gates Millennium Scholarship, and honors from Sundance Art of Nonfiction and Cinereach.\n\nZack Khalil is a filmmaker and artist whose work centers Indigenous narratives in the present\u2014and looks towards the future\u2014through the use of innovative nonfiction forms. Khalil also works professionally as a video editor, most recently co-editing Alison O\u2019Daniels feature film The Tuba Thieves (2023), which premiered at Sundance. Khalil\u2019s own work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, Sundance Film Festival, New York Film Festival, CPH: DOX, HKW, Walker Arts Center, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Creative Time, Toronto Biennial 2019, Whitney Biennial 2019, 59th Venice Biennale, Sharjah Biennial 15, and Counterpublic Triennial 2023, among other institutions and festivals. Khalil is the recipient of various fellowships and grants, including a Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship, a Sundance Art of Nonfiction grant, and the Gates Millennium Scholarship.\n\nFollowing the Penny Stamps Speaker Series screening of Aanikoobijigan at the Michigan Theater on October 12, a reception and Q&A will take place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Stamps Gallery (201 S. Division St.). Filmmakers Zack and Adam Khalil, with special guests, will speak in reflection on their film and process.\n\nIn partnership with the U-M Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Office; U-M Museum of Anthropological Archeology; U-M Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum; U-M Department of Film, Television, and Media; U-M Department of Native American Studies; the U-M Department of American Culture; the U-M Inclusive History Project; the U-M Department of Anthropology; U-M Museum Studies Program; and the U-M Stamps Gallery.\n\nSeries presenting partners: Detroit PBS, ALL ARTS, and PBS Books.
