People of the Sinixt Confederacy have lived on and stewarded Sinixt homelands since their first day. Currently, those homelands are located within the state of Washington and the province of British Columbia. Join author Eileen Delehanty Pearkes and film maker Derrick LaMere (Rocky Boy/Sinixt/Little Shell/Entiat/Wenatchi) for our inaugural NTAS10 event! We will screen LaMere's recently completed film Older than the Crown and celebrate the 20th anniversary edition of Pearkes's book Geography of Memory.

At 6pm - Join author Eileen Delehanty Pearkes and Sinixt co-authors for readings from Geography of Memory followed by discussions of Sinixt rights and stories.

After intermission (around 7:45pm) - We will screen film maker Derrick LaMere's (Rocky Boy/Sinixt/Little Shell/Entiat/Wenatchi) recently completed film Older than the Crown followed by a Q&A with the film maker. This program is presented by Native American Studies and sponsored in part by the Robert K. and Ann J. Powers Chair of the Humanities.
