Featuring speakers of chinuk wawa, an Indigenous language from the Pacific Northwest, Wawa begins slowly, patterning various forms of documentary and ethnography. Then, the patterns tangle, becoming confused and commingled, while translating and transmuting ideas of cultural identity, language, and history. (Tacoma Film Festival)
