The Common Reading Program will screen the 2022 documentary “Bring Her Home” on Wednesday, Feb. 14, at 4 p.m. in CUE 202 on the Pullman campus in recognition of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) National Day of Action and Awareness.
Although Indigenous women make up less than 1% of the population of the United States, they are murdered at a rate more than 10 times the national average. “Bring Her Home” follows three Indigenous women — an artist, an activist, and a politician — as they fight to vindicate and honor their missing and murdered relatives who have fallen victims to a growing epidemic across Indian country.
Hosted by the WSU Pullman Common Reading Program as part of its calendar of events to complement the 2023–24 common text, Robin Wall Kimmerer’s “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants.”
