November is Native American Heritage Month. If you've been wondering "where are the real Native Americans?" watch for the specials on Lakeland Public Television as well as special programs at Central Lake College (mentioned last week in the newspaper). First, you can watch a magazine style series at 10 p.m. on Sundays, from Nov. 2 to Nov. 23. The next TV special is "Our Fires Still Burn," an hour documentary about contemporary Midwestern Native American role models, at 7 p.m. Nov. 3, 2014.
Author Tony Treuer will be speaking at noon Wednesday, Nov. 12 at the Chalberg Theater. Mary Sam will be speaking on boarding schools on noon, Tuesday, Nov. 18, and Dr. Donna Brown will be speaking on Indian mascots at noon at the CLC theatre.
I hope to see you there!
