SCLT Explore History: Powwow Highway
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Sheridan Community Land Trust, Kinnison Hall in the Whitney Center for the Arts at Sheridan College
Join Sheridan Community Land Trust for a special evening edition of Explore History as we observe American Indian Heritage Month with a screening of “Powwow Highway” - a groundbreaking film recognized in the National Film Registry for its authentic portrayal of Native American life and its powerful cultural impact.
The film is celebrated for elevating Indigenous storytelling, tackling issues like poverty and environmental degradation, and highlighting spirituality, activism, and art. It also helped launch the careers of several Native actors.
Adding to its local connection, Powwow Highway was partially filmed in Sheridan, WY. - and community members were even part of the cast and crew. Come experience this important piece of film history and celebrate American Indian Heritage Month with us. SCLT Explore History is free to attend and open to all.
