Source To Sea: A Winter Migration

Cory Maria Dack, an Indigenous Latina wilderness guide, paddles the entire length of the Mississippi River, from Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico, over 134 days. Born in Quito, Ecuador and raised in northern Minnesota, Cory approaches the river not as something to be conquered, but as a living, relational being. Guided by Indigenous teachings, ceremony, and song, the film reframes wilderness adventure through a decolonized lens, centering humility, reciprocity, and listening. Along the river’s shifting landscapes, Cory reflects on identity, belonging, and environmental justice, challenging stereotypes about who belongs in nature.
