 24th Street, Oakland\n\nWhen Elouise Cobell, a Blackfeet warrior from 
 Montana, started asking questions about missing money from 
 government-managed Indian Trust accounts, she never imagined that one day 
 she would be taking on the U.S. government. But what she discovered as the 
 Treasurer of her tribe was a trail of fraud and corruption leading all the 
 way from Montana to Washington DC. 100 Years is the story of her 30-year 
 fight for justice for 300,000 Native Americans whose mineral- rich lands 
 were grossly mismanaged by the United States government. In 1996, Cobell 
 filed the largest class action lawsuit ever filed against the federal 
 government. For fifteen long years, and through three Presidential 
 administrations, Elouise Cobell's unrelenting spirit never quit. This is 
 the compelling true story of how she prevailed and made history.\n\nAs a 
 direct result of Cobell's work, in 2009, President Obama announced the $3.4 
 billion Cobell Settlement. In 2010, Congress approved the Settlement and in 
 June of 2011 the District Court of D.C. gave it final approval. Settlement 
 checks began to go out to the beneficiaries in 2012. In addition to these 
 payments, a $60 million Cobell Scholarship was established. Following the 
 Settlement, the Obama Administration continued to buy back land from 
 interested landowners, paying fair market price for the land. The purchased 
 land has been returned to the Tribes to manage. With the finalization of 
 the Cobell Settlement, now is the perfect time to tell the story of 100 
 YEARS: ONE WOMAN'S FIGHT FOR JUSTICE.\n\nIn Piedmont, 6:30 Reception, 7:00 
 film showing. 8:30 community discussion\nIn Oakland 12:30 showing, then 
 discussion\n\nFree; no need to RSVP.\n
