In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we invite you to join us for a special evening featuring a screening of Without Arrows, a film that chronicles the vibrancy and struggle of a Lakȟóta family and the ways long-held traditions live on today.

The film focuses on Delwin Elk Bear Fiddler, a champion grass dancer from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, who left his reservation as a young man to escape a trauma that splintered his family and to build a new life in Philadelphia. A decade later, he abandons his new life and returns home to his reservation to fulfill his mother’s ambition and carry on the legacy of their thiyóšpaye (extended family). Following the screening, enjoy a traditional dance performed by Delwin Elk Bear Fiddler and a Q&A with Delwin and Jonathan Olshefski, one of the film’s directors.
