Indigenous Perspectives Symposium on Art
 

Friday, November 1st, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
NMU’s Northern Center

This is an inaugural event focused on providing a space for Indigenous perspectives to flourish. Our purpose is to open a welcoming space for knowledge dissemination to an interested or broader audience about the intersection of art with Indigenous Peoples, Nations, communities, and lifeways. We are hosting this event to increase opportunities for creative collaborations across a wide variety of art mediums and presentations, from traditional to contemporary interpretations by sharing the story of Indigenous arts across NMU’s service area and providing discussion perspectives on impacts to campus/regional diversity and belonging.  For more information visit https://nmu.edu/indigenous-perspectives-symposium/.

Indigenous Perspectives Symposium screening of "Bring Them Home" film
Friday, November 1st, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
NMU’s Jamrich Hall Theater

"Following her Oscar-nominated role in Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Lily Gladstone is narrating and executive producing a new documentary titled “Bring Them Home,” about a Blackfeet initiative to bring buffalo back to the wild and reclaim centuries of Indigenous tradition.  Directed by Blackfeet brother-sister duo Ivan MacDonald and Ivy MacDonald, as well as Daniel Glick, the 85-minute feature will premiere at Big Sky Documentary Film Festival on Feb. 24. The screening will take place at 6 p.m. and is sponsored by The Nature Conservatory. “Bring Them Home” follows a decades-long effort by members of the “Blackfoot Confederacy” to bring buffalo back to the Blackfeet Reservation. The film examines the role the buffalo, or “iinnii,” played in Blackfeet life before settlers killed millions of the species in an attempt to eradicate the tribe." - Ethan Shanfeld, Variety Online Magazine.

"Bring Them Home" trailer is located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAK3IYj2NqI

Keynote Speaker Jonathan Thunder
