VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — In celebration of November’s Native American Heritage Month Vincennes University will be hosting a film screening of Women of the White Buffalo.
The event is part of the VU Humanities Film and Lecture Series, and will be held at the Vincennes University Technology Center on Thursday December 5, at 6 p.m. The film shares the stories of nine Native American women working to bring hope to their communities while addressing issues such as addiction, poverty, and historical trauma. A discussion will follow after the screening offering attendees a chance to reflect on the themes presented.
“The tribes that we’re working with, with Wabash Valley Progressives, they want people to know that we still live here, we’re still here. And that’s a really important message to them,” Wabash Valley Progressives Treasurer Jen Holscher said.
Vincennes University Technology Center is located at 1300 Chestnut Street.
