Bury my Heart with Tonawanda


The Native American Initiative cordially invites you to a film viewing with Adrian Esposito, a young filmmaker who is an MCC student.

Shunned by 19th century society, a boy with Down Syndrome finds sanctuary with the Tonawanda Seneca Nation.  The film conveys Seneca culture, beliefs, and myths.   The Seneca believe that children with disabilities are sent to us as messengers and teachers, and therefore they treat them with compassion.   Above all, this story reveals the positive effects of love and respect, while challenging our historical stereotypes about Native Americans.

The lead actor and two supporting actors will also be at the film viewing.  Questions and answers will follow after the film along with light refreshments

When:    Thursday March 26, 2015
Where:   Forum, Flynn Campus Center (3-130)
Time:      6:00PM
