About this event
Join us for a powerful evening of film and conversation as the MCC Native American Programming Workgroup and Abiitan co-host a screening of Ohiyesa: The Soul of an Indian.
Ohiyesa: The Soul of an Indian is a deeply personal family film that follows Kate Beane, an urban, Dakota scholar, and her family as they trace the remarkable life of their celebrated relative, Ohiyesa (Charles Eastman), an important author, activist, lecturer and one of the first Native American doctors. Along the way, Beane uncovers uncanny parallels between their lives, though they were born more than 100 years apart.
Following the screening, we will gather for a discussion with the director of the film, Syd Beane, to reflect on the film’s themes and explore its relevance today. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful opportunity to learn, connect, and deepen our understanding of Native American history and ongoing efforts for justice.
