14 January, LA: Free Screening of "The Ghost Riders"

Thursday, January 14, 2010 6:30 pm Doors Open

A free screening of The Ghost Riders at 111 North Central Ave., in downtown Los Angeles, directly across from the Japanese American National Museum (our host sponsor)

The Bigfoot Memorial Ride, an annual 300-mile journey on horseback, helps the Lakota Nation "wipe the tears" shed for the massacre of Lakota men, women, and children at Wounded Knee in 1896, and for more recent hardships. Participants convey the ride's spirit of sacrifice and remembrance, and the Lakota people's determination to build a better future.

Guests for the night include Annette Phoenix who will provide us with a beading demonstration and Producer and Director V. Blackhawk Aamodt who will speak after the screening!
