Description
Join us as we mark the start of Native American Heritage Month with a showing of the documentary film Carlisle 200 at 2 p.m. in the Sidney Yates Auditorium at the Department of the Interior building. Following the showing there will be a live panel discussion moderated by Dr. Gabrielle Tayac.
Carlisle 200 follows Native bikers Guarina Lopez (Pascua Yaqui) and Tsinnijinnie Russell (Diné) on a 200-mile prayer ride from Washington, D.C. to the cemetery at Carlisle Indian Boarding School in Carlisle, PA. Through rain and shine on the long gravel trail, Guarina, Tsinnijinnie, and fellow activist-bikers honor the 190+ children buried at Carlisle and raise awareness of the history and ongoing impact of the residential boarding school system on Indigenous communities.
