Free Screening of Ghost Riders

The Bigfoot Memorial Ride, an annual 300-mile journey on horseback, helps the Lakota Nation "wipe the tears" shed for the massacre of Lakota men, women, and children at Wounded Knee in 1896, and for more recent hardships. Participants convey the ride's spirit of sacrifice and remembrance, and the Lakota people's determination to build a better future. Guests for the night include the filmmaker. Special guest Producer and Director V. Blackhawk Aamodt will speak after the screening.
