From Widoktadwen Center for Native Knowledge
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, the Widoktadwen Center for Native Knowledge invites the public to attend screenings of Indigenous films in Reading during the month of November.
Storytelling has always been central to Indigenous cultures. Film provides a powerful platform for Native people to share our stories in our own voices, preserve cultural knowledge, and build understanding across communities.
On Tuesday, Nov. 17, the public is invited to attend a screening of the documentary film Without Arrows at 6 p.m. in the PLEX lecture hall at Alvernia University, sponsored by the Office of Justice, Equity, and Inclusion.
Filmmaker Delwin Fiddler Jr., a champion grass dancer from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, will treat the audience to a dance demonstration before the film. A Q&A with Delwin Fiddler will follow the screening. This event is free and open to the public.
On Thursday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m., the Boscov Theater at the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts will screen Thirst for Justice. Tickets are $10.00 and available at the box office or online.
On Saturday, Nov. 21, at 4 p.m., the film Haida Modern will be showing in the auditorium at the Reading Public Museum. This event immediately follows the RPM’s Celebrating Our Community Day event from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in honor of Native American Heritage Month. Museum admission is free and open to the public during regular business hours.
