Squamish will host a free public screening of Tea Creek, a documentary about Indigenous food sovereignty and the revival of traditional agricultural knowledge, on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at Totem Hall (1380 Stawamus Road). Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
In a press release issued Feb. 25, organizers describe the film as the story of Indigenous food sovereignty activist Jacob Beaton, who transformed his family farm into Tea Creek, an Indigenous food sovereignty training centre, in three years.
The documentary follows Tea Creek through a growing season, capturing efforts to restore agricultural practices that, according to the press release, historically outperformed colonial farming before being disrupted by colonization and residential schools. The film is an intimate portrait of Beaton, whose work is “creating space for healing, learning, and abundance.”
A moderated Q&A with local panelists focused on regenerative and Indigenous agriculture will follow the screening. Panelists will be announced as confirmed. Food and refreshments will be provided by Squamish CAN at the door, first-come, first-served.
The event is presented by Squamish Nation, Squamish Community Foundation, Squamish CAN, and Story Money Impact, and takes place on the unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation).
