Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Kent Nerburn, this deeply moving film follows a white author who gets pulled into the heart of contemporary Native American life by a 95 year old Lakota elder and his side-kick in the sparse lands of the Dakotas.

Adding a special dimension to this event, author Kent Nerburn will join Gayogo̲hó:nǫˀ Learning Project board member Jim Wikel (Seneca-Cayuga Nation) for an engaging talkback session via Zoom, immediately following the film. This is a unique opportunity for audience members to delve deeper into the themes of the film and to hear firsthand insights from the author and from a Gayogo̲hó:nǫˀ perspective.
