Global Hope presents -- Standing Silent Nation
Documentary with Discussion to Follow
In April 2000, Alex White Plume and his Lakota family planted industrial hemp on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota after other crops had failed. But when federal agents raided the White Plumes' fields, the Lakota Nation was swept into a Byzantine struggle over tribal sovereignty, economic rights and common sense.
Discussion will be led by Blair Van Pelt
April 8th 7-9pm
In UHH Campus Room UCB 100

"It’s not just about our family growing hemp. It’s about a bigger question about tribal sovereignty. Sovereignty isn’t something that you ask somebody for, sovereignty is something you assert. We want our sovereignty."
