The Lam Museum’s annual celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day will feature a screening of "Bring Them Home / Aiskótáhkapiyaaya." The film tells the story of a small group of Blackfoot people and their mission to establish the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral territory since the species’ near-extinction a century ago, an act that would restore the land, re-enliven traditional culture, and bring much-needed healing to their community. Narrated by Academy Award-nominated Blackfeet / Nez Perce actor, Lily Gladstone, this documentary is the winner of the Big Sky Film Award. The 85-minute film will be followed by a discussion featuring Candice Dalsign, national impact producer for the documentary, and Tyson Running Wolf, CEO of Blackfeet ECO Knowledge. A reception will follow the program. Admission is free.
