Marquette – Northern Michigan University has scheduled a semester-long series of presentations, film screenings, reading groups and creative responses to Claudia Rankine’s “Citizen: An American Lyric”, this year’s Diversity Common Reader Program selection. The book recounts mounting racial aggression in ongoing encounters in 21st century daily life and in the media.
The film “Reel Injun” will be screened on Thursday, March 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the Art and Design building room 165. The film traces the evolution of Hollywood’s depiction of Native Americans from the silent film era through today. It features clips from hundreds of classic and recent movies, along with candid interviews with Native and non-Native celebrities, activists and historians.
A post-film discussion will be led by April Lindala, director of the NMU Center for Native American Studies, and Patricia Killelea, assistant professor of English.
