Native American Heritage Month Film & Discussion: "Warrior Women"- The story Madonna Thunderhawk (American Indian Movement) and the fight for indigenous rights

“Warrior Women” is the story of mothers and daughters fighting for indigenous rights in the American Indian Movement of the 1970s. The film unveils not only a female perspective of history, but also examines the impact political struggles have on the children who bear witness.

Following the film, there will be a discussion led by Corine Fairbanks. Corine is an Oglala Lakota writer, educator and activist. As a spokesperson for Native American rights, Fairbanks is currently one of the Lead Organizers for the American Indian Movement of Southwestern Ohio.
