Bring Her Home
In recognition of Women’s History Month, you're invited to a screening of Bring Her Home, directed by Leya Hale (Dakota/Diné).
The film follows three Indigenous women as they seek justice for relatives lost to violence against Native women, while confronting generational trauma and systemic oppression.
Don't miss the Director's Q&A with Leya Hale and Ruth Buffalo following the screening.
Leya Hale comes from the Sisseton Wahpeton Dakota and Din? Nations. In 2020, Leya was awarded the Sundance Institute Merata Mita Fellowship for Indigenous Artists and attended the 2020 Berlinale European Film Market as a NATIVe Fellow. When not producing feature films, Leya works on a variety of short form content in efforts to create social change within the upper Midwest region.
Ruth Buffalo is a citizen of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation and a descendant of the Chiricahua Apache. She is a leader, advocate, and educator whose work spans public health, social justice, and Indigenous rights. Ruth made history in 2018 as the first Native American Democratic woman elected to the North Dakota Legislature, where she served on key committees and championed policies to strengthen public health, protect vulnerable communities, and advance tribal sovereignty.
