Ithaca College invites all as we commemorate the rich history and cultures of the indigenous and first peoples of our land. This campus-wide educational programming series provides learning opportunities through lectures, presentations, performances, film screenings with discussions, and other efforts, to honor native cultures and the history of our country.

“Reel Injun”- Tuesday (Today), November 8, Emerson C, 6:00pm

Film Screening- 6:00pm
Discussion- 7:30pm

This film explores the portrayal of Native Americans in film. Reel Injun is illustrated with excerpts from classic and contemporary portrayals of Native people in Hollywood movies and interviews with filmmakers, actors and film historians.

Immediately following the screening, a group of student leaders will facilitate a dialogue based on the content presented in the film. The dialogue will cover the portrayal of people of color in media, “culture vultures”, co-opting, and cultural appropriation as it is seen and experienced in modern day.

Refreshments will be provided.

Through the collaborative efforts of the Office of Student Engagement and Multicultural Affairs, our campus partners in various departments and offices, and our student organizations, we are able to provide various opportunities to learn, share, celebrate, empower, and appreciate Latinx Heritage Month, Native Heritage: 1st Peoples Month, Black History Month, and Focus Asia Month.
