Scholar, artist, and policymaker Dr. Elizabeth Rule (enrolled citizen, Chickasaw Nation) will screen a rough cut of her forthcoming documentary, DC is Indian Land. Derived from her award-winning book, Indigenous DC: Native Peoples and the Nation’s Capital (Georgetown University Press, 2023), this film is an oral history investigation of both the histories and contemporary experiences of Indigenous peoples in Washington, DC. A moderated conversation with Jourdan Bennett-Begaye, executive editor at ICT (formerly Indian Country Today); audience Q&A with the filmmaker; and Indigenous DC book-signing will follow the screening.
ASL Interpretation will be provided.
