Thursday, September 11, 2008 7pm Discovering Dominga When Denese Becker, an Iowa housewife who was adopted, looks into her birthplace in Guatemala, finds that she is the last survivor of her family after a massacre of Mayan peasants. Denese's journey home is both a voyage of self-discovery that permanently alters her relationship to her American family and a political awakening that sheds light on an act of genocide. Thursday, October 23, 2008 7pm Aleut Story In the turbulence of war, the Aleuts of Alaska would redefine themselves and America. From indentured servitude and being put into concentration camps during World War II, to Congress and the White House, this is the incredible story of the Aleuts' decades-long struggle for our nation's ideals. Thursday, November 20, 2008 7pm Alcatraz Is Not An Island When a small group of Native American students and "Urban Indians" began the occupation of Alcatraz Island in November 1969, they sparked a movement joined by thousands, retaking "Indian land" for the first time since the 1880s. This historic event altered U.S. Government Indian policy and programs, and how it forever changed the way Native Americans viewed themselves, their culture and their sovereign rights. Thursday, December 4, 2008 7pm Our Spirits Don't Speak English: Indian Boarding School On June 10, 2008, the government of Canada formally apologized to the world for its treatment of American Indians in the last century. This story examines the harrowing story of young Native American and First Nation's children who were taken away from their families and sent to boarding schools designed to destroy their culture and tribal unity.
