This Friday
night, April 23 at 7pm we will be gathering at the Elder’s Building on Barlow Lane to watch the film "Skins", directed by Chris Eyre and based on the novel by Adrian C. Louis. Group discussion to follow. A light dinner will be served.h

Film synopsis:

Rudy Yellow Lodge is an investigator with the police department and witnesses firsthand the painful legacy of Indian existence. Although rampant unemployment, alcoholism and domestic violence are the norm for many reservation inhabitants, Rudy has largely escaped this cycle of despair. His brother Mogie, however, has not. Now faced with the discovery of a bloodied body, a flaming liquor store just off native land that sells millions of cans of beer a year to the native population, and his brother's ongoing self-destruction, Rudy goes on a quest to avenge himself, his family, and his culture and to seek justice.
