NATIVE AMERICAN FILM SERIES
MONDAY, September 14 (Time TBA)

Uncovering Boarding Schools: Stories of Resistance and Resilience chronicles present-day efforts by Klamath tribal members to uncover the difficult and often hidden history of Indigenous children forced into government-sanctioned boarding schools—including some religious schools that were previously unknown–in order to bring about community reconciliation and healing.

Now in it’s third year, the Native American Film Series at The Ross features free monthly screenings showcasing Native American films and television programs from the Vision Maker Media public broadcasting archives. Presented by The Ross Media Arts Center, Vision Maker Media, and Friends of The Ross.

Unless otherwise noted, screenings in this series will take place on the second Monday of each month and are admission free and open to the public. Tickets available at the Ross box office (online ticketing not available for free screenings).
