In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, the U of A Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has partnered with the Fayetteville Film Festival to host a screening of Daughter of a Lost Bird tonight, Friday, Nov. 12. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film's director, Brooke Swaney (Blackfeet/Salish), and other contributors of the project.

Daughter of a Lost Bird follows Kendra, an adult Native adoptee, as she reconnects with her birth family, discovers her Lummi heritage and confronts issues of her own identity. Her singular story echoes many affected by the Indian Child Welfare Act and the Indian Adoption Project. 

The film begins at 7 p.m. After the 66-minute film, a discussion led by the film's director, Brooke Swaney (Blackfeet/Salish), will take place. The event will be held at the Pryor Center (1 E. Center St., Fayetteville, AR 72701) and is free to students and the general public.
