In the heart of North Carolina, a river runs through time.
This short film paddles deep into the Black River, where members of the Coharie Tribe guide a journey through ancient waters and living history.
The destination: a 2,600-year-old bald cypress—one of the oldest trees on Earth.
Led by Kullen Bell and fellow tribal leaders, the journey reveals a powerful cultural revival rooted in environmental stewardship.
The story explores the tribe’s restoration of ancestral waterways, the discovery of a 650-year-old dugout canoe, and the creation of a paddling trail that reconnects people to place.
Bell also shares how the Great Coharie River Initiative has sparked visibility, funding, and a new generation of community-driven programs.
