As we think about what we read in our One Book Shiawassee Selection, we might also think about how what we see in movies influences our thoughts and the way we see Native American people in particular. Please join us at the Owosso Library for a viewing of the documentary film REEL I***N Saturday evening at 6:00 or Monday afternoon at 2:00.
You can view a the film trailer here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbDvteUUrm4
