Watch Smoke Signals to celebrate American Indian Heritage Month
Posted by Laura Studyvin
Join us for an American Indian Heritage Month cultural program at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 15, at the Diversity House. The American Indian Science and Engineering Society will host a dinner and a viewing of Smoke Signals followed by a discussion. While it was not the first film created by native filmmakers in the U.S., Smoke Signals is recognized as being the first feature-length film written, directed and produced by Native Americans to reach a wide audience both in the United States and abroad. This film is also notable for its authenticity regarding its cast of Native American actors and actresses, and since it was filmed on location on the Coeur D’Alene Indian Reservation in Idaho.
Register online by 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13.
