“Killers of the Flower Moon” Private Screening
On Thursday, Nov. 30, we will be seeing the new film, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” This movie is based off the book by David Grann and follows the Osage tribe and mysterious killings happening on their reservation, as well as the creation of the FBI. The film stars many well-known actors including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro, Larry Sellers, Indigenous actress Lily Gladstone, and many other Indigenous actors. The Native Student Program will provide a bus to the Movie Tavern for the screening, but space is limited, so please register for the event if you would like to attend.

Join us for the closing social dance for Native Heritage Month on Tuesday, Nov. 28 from 5-8 p.m. at the Skybarn on South Campus. We will have Haudenosaunee singers and an opportunity for people to learn about our dances. All are welcome to join in the celebration!
