Vision Maker Media (visionmakermedia.org) and The Ross Media Arts Center Native American Film Series 2024 will screen Storytellers of the Pacific, Self-Determination. This film looks at issues of self- determination through the words and stories of four cultures which have had to struggle to stay intact: the Nisqually people of the Pacific Northwest, native Hawaiians, the Seri people of the Sonoran Desert in northern Mexico and the Aleut people of Alaska’s Pribiloff Islands.
The screening takes place June 10, at 7:10 p.m. at The Ross Media Arts Center. Admission is free and open to the public. For all shows and times, visit theross.org or the Ross hotline at (402) 472-5353.
The Native American Film Series features artist profiles, musical performances, family stories and documentaries on historical figures and traditions. Screenings in this monthly series will take place the second Monday of each month in 2024.
