Vision Maker Media (visionmakermedia.org) and The Ross Media Arts Center Native American Film Series 2024 are screening Growing Native Oklahoma: Red People. Oklahoma is home to 39 federally recognized tribes. Nowhere in North America will you find such diversity among Native Peoples, and nowhere will you find a more tragic history.

The screening takes place September 9, at 7 p.m. at The Ross Media Arts Center. Admission is free and open to the public. For all shows and times, visit theross.org or the Ross hot line at (402) 472-5353.
