The award-winning documentary Lost Nation: The Ioway by Emmy award-winning filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle of Fourth Wall Films will screen FREE to the public Saturday November 19th 1-3 p.m. at the Atchison Cultural Center, 111 N. 8th Street, Atchison, Kansas, as part of the Ioway: Here to Stay Art Exhibit. The film tells the dramatic true tale of two brothers' struggle to save their people from inevitable American conquest, and the Ioway's current fight to reclaim and maintain their unique history and culture.
"We will have popcorn, cider and lots of good conversations around this moving documentary film playing in conjunction with the Cultural Center's current exhibit, Ioway Here to Stay," the website states.
The Ioway: Here to Stay Art Exhibit reflects past and present artwork showing how the Ioway culture has progressed, changed, and has been influenced through time.
Learn about the tribe, their name, lifestyle, relocation, struggles with assimilation, and their revitalization. Vibrant contemporary art demonstrates the resilience of a colorful culture and celebrates that Native people are still here. Open now until February 2023.
The event and exhibit are made possible by the Kansas Creative Arts Industries Commission, the Potawatomi Tribe, the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, the Cray Foundation, and the Atchison Art Council.
