Prior to the screening, Run Like A Native will be hosting community 5K fun run/walk!

Both are FREE events, but don’t forget to RSVP for your ticket and register to run/walk on Eventbrite for an accurate headcount. Hope to see you there!
ABOUT THE FILM:
Remaining Native is a coming-of-age feature documentary told through the perspective of Ku Stevens, a 17-year-old Native American runner from the Yerington Paiute Reservation in Northwest Nevada. The film follows Ku as he navigates his way to college athletics while the memory of his great-grandfather’s 50-mile escape from Indian Boarding School begins to connect past, present, and future.
