NALSA Launches Native American Film Nights
by M Faye Hadley, Native American Resources/Instructional Services Law Librarian
With over 150 video titles relating to Native Americans in the combined collections of McFarlin Library and the MLIC (and even more in NALSA members' and supporters' personal collections) NALSA member Bruce Gordon thought that there might be an interest in viewing a few of these videos as a group and seeing what discussion might follow. To that end, he, along with other NALSA members, is launching Native American Film Nights to be held once a month on Thursday and the following Friday nights. Kicking off the series will be a showing of the Indian film classic "Pow Wow Highway"(with Gary Farmer, A. Martinez, Joannelle Nadine Romero, with an excellent, though brief, appearance by Graham Greene) and the 1967 Paul Newman feature "Hombre." The videos will be shown here in John Rogers Hall, Room 202. The series will begin this Thursday and Friday nights (September 26 & 27) in Room 202 at 7:00pm. So bring along a bag of popcorn and a soda and come on out to watch some classic Native American cinema.
