A free screening of Warrior: The Life of Leonard Peltier

The shocking, true story of Leonard Peltier, the American Indian leader locked away for life, convicted of the alleged murder of two FBI agents during a bloody shoot-out on the Pine Ridge Reservation in 1975. Around the world his trial and conviction have been denounced as a sham. The heart of the film, is a detailed painstaking account of Peltier's harrowing odyssey through the American justice system.

Special guest Ben Carnes, Support Group Coordinator & National Spokesperson for the The Leonard Peltier Defense Offense Committee, will speak after the screening (The LPDOC is the center of communication between Leonard Peltier and his program coordinators, the general public, government officials, political and tribal leaders, the media, and his supporters worldwide).....

A free screening of Ghost Riders

A free screening of Ghost Riders The Bigfoot Memorial Ride, an annual 300-mile journey on horseback, helps the Lakota Nation "wipe the tears" shed for the massacre of Lakota men, women, and children at Wounded Knee in 1896, and for more recent hardships. Participants convey the ride's spirit of sacrifice and remembrance, and the Lakota people's determination to build a better future. Guests for the night include the filmmaker. Special guest Producer and Director V. Blackhawk Aamodt will speak after the screening!....

A free screening of Lost Nation: The Ioway

In the twilight of Native American dominion, two Ioway leaders travel to Washington, D. C. in 1824 to meet with Superintendent of Indian Affairs, William Clark. Both sign a treaty ceding a large portion of tribal land for settlement. White Cloud sees cooperation as the only way for his people to survive, while Great Walker regrets the loss of land where his ancestors are buried. More territory is lost, and the Ioway people are divided, with some regarding one leader as a traitor, and the other as a patriot. After the tribe is removed, the 36 million acres they once called home is named 'Iowa'. Then, they are forgotten. 'Lost Nation: The Ioway' tells the dramatic true tale of two leaders' struggle to save their people from inevitable American conquest, and the Ioway's current fight to reclaim and maintain their unique history and culture. Special guest filmmakers Tammy and Kelly Rundle will speak after the screening!....

A free screening of Two Spirits

Two Spirits interweaves the tragic story of a mother's loss of her son with a revealing look at the largely unknown history of a time when the world wasn't simply divided into male and female and many Native American cultures held places of honor for people of integrated genders. Fred Martinez was n‡dleeh’, a male-bodied person with a feminine essence, a special gift according to his ancient Navajo culture. He was one of the youngest hate-crime victims in modern history when he was brutally murdered at sixteen by a young man who bragged to his friends. Two Spirits explores the life and death of a boy who was also a girl and the essentially spiritual nature of gender and sexuality. The film makes the case that in the twenty-first century we need to return to traditional values. Special guest tba. ....

A free screening of Waterbuster

Waterbuster is a documentary chronicling the dislocation and relocation of the Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation of North Dakota due to a dam that inundated their homeland along the banks of the Missouri River. It is also the personal story of the director's family, whose life choices were influenced by this powerful reshaping of the landscape. The film examines the events that led up to the building of the Garrison Dam, the flooding of 156,000 acres of prime, agricultural bottomland on the Fort Berthold Reservation, and the resulting responses of a people who have survived centuries of hardship through adaptation and resiliency. This story explores identity, highlighting the universal struggle we all face in 21st century America to find a sense of place, a community and a home. Special guest tba.....

Autumns beautiful magic transforms Summer into Winter.  The brilliant colors, the cool breeze, & frosty nights signal excitement of upcoming holidays.   Listen to the harmonic laughter of beautiful people,  the honk of migrating geese or the purr of happy cat .  Sweet Blessings,  Rhonda Grace
