Film screening celebrates Indigenous Peoples Day

The Lam Museum’s annual celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day will feature a screening of “Bring Them Home / Aiskótáhkapiyaaya” on Sunday, Oct. 13, at 4 p.m. at Porter Byrum Welcome Center.

The film tells the story of a small group of Blackfeet people and their mission to establish the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral territory since the species’ near-extinction a century ago, an act that would restore the land, re-enliven traditional culture, and bring much-needed healing to their community.  

The 85-minute film will be followed by a discussion featuring Candice Dalsing, national impact producer for the documentary, who will attend in person, and Tyson Running Wolf, CEO of Blackfeet ECO Knowledge, who will join via Zoom.

A reception catered by Native Root will follow the program. More information is available on the Lam Museum website.
