Bring Them Home / Aiskótáhkapiyaaya: Indigenous Peoples Day Film Screening

This event will take place at Kulynych Auditorium in the Byrum Welcome Center on the Wake Forest University campus. 

The Lam Museum’s annual celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day will feature a screening of “Bring Them Home / Aiskótáhkapiyaaya.” The film tells the story of a small group of Blackfoot people and their mission to establish the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral territory since the species’ near-extinction a century ago, an act that would restore the land, re-enliven traditional culture, and bring much-needed healing to their community. Narrated by Academy Award-nominated Blackfeet / Nez Perce actor, Lily Gladstone, this documentary is the winner of the Big Sky Film Award. The 85-minute film will be followed by a discussion featuring Candice Dalsing, national impact producer for the documentary, and Tyson Running Wolf, CEO of Blackfeet ECO Knowledge. A reception catered by Native Root will follow the program. Admission is free.

This event is sponsored by the Lam Museum of Anthropology, Wake the Arts, Andrew Sabin Family Center for Environment and Sustainability, Program for Leadership and Character, Intercultural Center, Documentary Film Program, American Ethic Studies Program, Department for the Study of Religions, and the Departments of Anthropology, Communication, and History.
