Native American Heritage Month: More Than A Word (Preview & discussion of film)
Nov. 12, 2 PM 
John Little, Director of the Indian University of North America
Kenn Little, filmmaker
Of the Standing Rock Dakota tribe, John Little and Kenn Little direct More Than A Word, offering a look inside the growing movement to change the name of the Washington R*dskins football team. The film traces origins of the word, from a term of racist derision and slander to being embraced as the name of one of the NFL’s most beloved franchises; and draws on the voices of Native American activists and scholars to place this controversy within the wider context of Native American history and racial stereotyping more generally.  https://www.speakoutnow.org/speaker/more-word-john-kenn-little
