An Emmy award-winning filmmaker and Yale Fellow, Karyl Evans, will share her experience of bonding and working with Connecticut’s Native tribes with the public Friday, Nov. 21, at the University of Wyoming.
Evans’ presentation, “Building Relationships and Making Documentaries with the Northeast Woodland Native Peoples in Connecticut,” will start at 2 p.m. in Room 118 of the Classroom Building.
The program will cover her time building relationships with the five Northeastern woodland tribes recognized federally and by Connecticut while producing a documentary focused on the tribe's resilience, culture and history.
As part of the program, Evans will show her documentary short that follows two Pequot sisters who prevented the Mashantucket Pequot Reservation from being seized by Connecticut.
The presentation will be livestreamed here.
