Marquette, MI – November 16, 2022 – Join us for a one hour film screening of Warrior Lawyers: Defenders of Sacred Justice by Audrey Geyer about Native American ogichidaa – “peaceful warriors that stand up for the people,” nation re-building and tribal justice. Through personal and professional stories of American Indian attorneys, tribal judges and their colleagues, the movie depicts an overview of the historical, governmental, legal, judicial, and intertwining social justice issues shaping many Federally Recognized Nations today, and how changes can be made for good.
The film maker, Audrey Geyer, will be joining us for a Q&A session after the screening. In addition, we will be joined by Karrie Biron, General Counsel of the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Indians. Enjoy the trailer to learn more: warriorlawyers.org
