Tell Students: Beyond Boundaries Presents 'Warrior Women' - September 24

This semester, the Equity and Campus Diversity Office, in partnership with the Communication Department and the Burchfield Penney Art Center, will host the Beyond Boundaries: Dare to Be Diverse Film and Discussion Series virtually. We are excited to present this semester's amazing films and some very special panelists. The full calendar is available online (PDF, 681 KB).

Our September film is Warrior Women on Thursday, September 24, at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom. 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.

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