Native American Film Series: Oyate Woyaka

February 9 @ 7:15 pm - 8:30 pm CST
An older man in a checkered shirt and leather vest looks down. Behind him is the wall of a gymnasium with a basketball net. There are bison painted on the wall.

Every second Monday evening of each month, Vision Maker Media and The Ross Media Arts Center present free in-person public screenings that feature Native American films by and about Native Americans and Alaska Natives. The Native American Film Series showcases stories about cultural heritage, art, history, music, civic leadership, youth, and more.

Oyate Woyaka tells the story of the Lakota language history, loss and revitalization. The film touches on the deep history and spirituality of the language, the shocking history that caused Lakota to be on the verge of extinction and the modern efforts being made to bring language back to life and the immense challenges this effort faces.
