>>To All My Relations,
>>
>>I hope this message finds you in good spirits. We have a host of 
>>events planned at UCR throughout the month of November in 
>>celebration of Native American Heritage Month. We hope you can join 
>>us for any of the events starting next week.
>>
>>Our first event kicks off on Nov. 3rd 6:30-8:30pm in HUB 302 North 
>>with a film screening of Wounded Knee, Episode 5 of the We Shall 
>>Remain Film Series. This documentary tells the gripping story of 
>>the 1973 siege of Wounded Knee, examining the broad political and 
>>economic forces that led to the emergence of the American Indian 
>>Movement (AIM) in the 1960s. For 71 days, activists engaged in a 
>>standoff with the U.S. government, bringing the nation's attention 
>>to the desperate conditions on Indian reservations. Perhaps even 
>>more, important, the siege united Native people across tribes 
>>creating a new path into the future.
>>
>>Our 2nd event will be on Nov. 5th 12 noon- 2pm at the Costo Library 
>>(4th Floor of Rivera Library) with a film screening of Sing Birds: 
>>Following the Path of Cahuilla Power by Sean Owens. This 
>>documentary is on bird songs, which tell the origins of the 
>>Cahuilla people, their travels in ancient times and their 
>>descriptions of the natural environment. Following the screening, 
>>there will be a Discussion Panel featuring Bird Singers: Gerald 
>>Clarke Jr., Anthony Madrigal, Bill Madrigal, Luke Madrigal, William 
>>Madrigal Jr., and Leroy Miranda Jr.
>>
>>Lastly, the 3rd event on our first week will be Nov. 6th American 
>>Indian College Information Day "Creating a Path for the Next 7 
>>Generations" 9am-3pm. This is an outreach event for High School and 
>>Junior College students and will consist of workshops on the A-G 
>>requirements, Financial Aid, Transferring to UCR, the Personal 
>>Statement, Student Panel and a UCR Tour. In addition, we will have 
>>a special guest speaker and performer, Native Hip-Hop artist Quese 
>>IMC. There will be food, prizes, and fun learning.
