Event
Native American Film Festival - Late Show
"An American Outrage"
Carrie and Mary Dann are feisty elderly Western Shoshone sisters who live and ranch in north central Nevada. They have always grazed their livestock on the range outside their ranch, part of sixty million acres recognized by the U.S. as Western Shoshone land in the 1863 Treaty of Ruby Valley. In 1974, the U.S. sued the Dann sisters for trespassing on United States public land without a permit. Their dispute swept to the United States Supreme Court and eventually to the United Nations. Contrasting the Danns personal lives and political actions, American Outrage examines why the United States would spend millions prosecuting and persecuting two elderly women grazing a few hundred horses and cows in a desolate desert?
Preceded by: "CHE AH CHI: The History of Boynton Canyon"
CHE AH CHI, the Apache name for a mysterious red rock canyon near Sedona, Arizona, is a place of ancient stories both indigenous and geological. The film features interviews with tribal elders who reveal stories usually reserved for their own storytelling circles. The elders offer deep insights into their respective cultures, detailing the sorrow of forced removal from their homelands, and demonstrating a cultural wisdom able to embrace all those that can respect the sacred canyon.
Yavapai-Apache Nation digital short stories will also be shown.
