Beyond Boundaries Presents 'Warrior Women': September 24

The Equity and Campus Diversity Office and the Communication Department are pleased to announce the screening of Warrior Women, the first film in the Beyond Boundaries: Dare to Be Diverse screening and discussion series for fall 2020, on Thursday, September 24, at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom videoconference. Registration is required. RSVP online.

Warrior Women details the story of Madonna Thunder Hawk, an American Indian Movement (AIM) leader who shaped a kindred group of activists’ children—including her daughter Marcy—into the “We Will Remember” Survival School as a Native alternative to government-run education. Together, Madonna and Marcy fought for Native rights in an environment that made them more comrades than mother and daughter. Today, with Marcy now a mother herself, both are still at the forefront of Native issues, fighting against the environmental devastation of the Dakota Access Pipeline and for Indigenous cultural values. 

This semester, all films in the Beyond Boundaries series will take place virtually. We have some amazing films lined up and some very special panelists. The full calendar is available online.

Please feel free to share this information widely, and please join us for this award-winning film.
