 Chavez, San Francisco\n\nA benefit for The Intertribal Friendship 
 House\n\nTuesday, October 23rd, 8:00 pm\n\nShowing the films:\n\nSa'ah and 
 Alcatraz is Not an Island\n\nPlus!! Special guests:\n\nJames Fortier, 
 director of Alcatraz is Not an Island\nTony Gonzalez, west coast 
 representative of AIM\nAnd other honored Alcatraz Veterans to be in 
 attendance and speak\nabout the occupation and the upcoming longest walk 
 2.\n\n\nSa'ah (Sarah Del Seronde, 2005, 20 mins,)\nChange is imminent 
 within all cultures and nothing shows this more\nclearly than with the 
 growing youth of indigenous peoples. And to meet\nthe ongoing ebb and flow 
 of life, the Diné must retain lingual and\ncultural teachings to ensure 
 their path to Sa'ah Nagháí Bik'eh Hózhóón\n(Walking in Beauty into Old 
 Age). In essence, this is the fundamental\npursuit of all Diné: to live a 
 long life. This short documentary was\ninitially thought to provide a 
 glimpse of a remarkable young Diné\nman's life on the reservation. When 
 the idea falls through, a Diné\nfilm student goes to a medicine man for 
 help. This documentary\nentitled Over There follows a one-day trip through 
 the Navajo Nation\nReservation and shares what happens on one such journey. 
 This reveals\nechoes from the medicine man that narrate the meaning of the 
 Diné\nphilosophy and reminds us to ask ourselves what we are teaching 
 our\nchildren.\n\n\nAlcatraz is Not an Island Dir: James Fortier 57 min. 
 Color 2002\nFor Native Americans all across the United States, the 
 infamous\nAlcatraz is not an island... It is an inspiration. After 
 generations\nof oppression, assimilation, and near-genocide, a small group 
 of\nNative American students and "Urban Indians" began the 
 19-month\noccupation of Alcatraz Island in November 1969. They were 
 eventually\njoined by thousands of Native Americans, retaking "Indian land" 
 for\nthe first time since the 1880s. This remarkable 
 documentary\ninterweaves archival footage and contemporary commentary to 
 examine\nhow this historic event altered U.S. Government Indian policy 
 and\nprograms, and how it forever changed the way Native Americans 
 viewed\nthemselves, their culture, and their sovereign rights.\n\nThe 
 Intertribal Friendship House (IFH)started out as a place for 
 American\nIndians from all over the country to meet and see one another 
 after they\nwere relocated to the Bay Area during the 1940's through the 
 1960's as a\nway of having American Indians leave the reservation and 
 assimilate. This\neffort by the United States government did not work. Over 
 the last 50\nyears,\nIntertribal Friendship House has continued to provide 
 services to the\nNative population in the Bay Area. IFH continues to be a 
 place where "all\nNatives are welcome," whether it's as a place to: sit and 
 have a cup of\ncoffee to find out about the latest community events, attend 
 a celebration\nor funeral, to have ceremonies, or to take classes. IFH's 
 community hopes\nthat the space will continue to be open for future 
 generations to learn\nabout their traditions.\n\nPart of an ongoing monthly 
 series showcasing radical films and supporting\nlocal organizing. Films are 
 shown on the patio at El Rio every month.\n\nEvent is free, but donations 
 accepted. Space is wheelchair accessible, but\nbathrooms are not. 21 and 
 over. For more information, please contact\nradfilms@lycos.com\n\nSave the 
 Date! Check out our next revolutionary feature on Tues, November\n27th to 
 benefit POWER!\n\n
