SUMMARY:Documentary screening\: “The Last Prairie”
STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:Join director John O’Keefe\, professor of Theology and Journa
 lism at Creighton University\, and Mary Ann Vinton\, associate professor o
 f biology at Creighton University\, for a screening of “The Last Prair
 ie.” The film examines the Sandhills through the perspectives of ecologi
 sts\, those who live and work there\, and the Indigenous people whose ance
 stors were driven off the land.\n\nAbout the film\: \n\n“‘The Last Pra
 irie’ is a film about the Nebraska Sandhills\, a vast grassland in Nebra
 ska. Its 20\,000 square miles comprise the largest area of stabilized sand
  dunes in the Western Hemisphere and it has been recently described as the
  most intact temperate grassland on earth.\n\nThe film offers an intimate 
 portrait of the Sandhills\, presented through voices of three different co
 mmunities\: ecologists who study the region’s biodiversity\; people who 
 live and work there\; and Native Lakota people whose ancestors were killed
  to make way for American westward expansion. The Sandhills\, however\, is
  the main character\, and the primary voice.”\n\nAfter the documentary\,
  O’Keefe and Vinton will do a short Q&A with the audience. This event is
  free\, open to the public\, and in-person only.\n\nMore information on th
