A documentary screening at Haskell will precede a Q&A with the filmmaker and a residential boarding school survivor.
Directed by Gwendolen Cates, “The Doctrine” uncovers the historic and present impacts of the Doctrine of Discovery.
“This urgent film exposes how centuries-old decrees continue to drive global injustice and environmental crisis today,” the event poster reads.
The screening is free and open to the public. It will start at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2 at the Haskell Auditorium, 155 Indian Ave.
Afterward, there will be a live Q&A with Mitchell Walking Elk and Cates. Walking Elk, enrolled member of the Southern Cheyenne & Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and part Hopi, is a boarding school survivor.
