Students from Black Hills State University’s Center for American Indian Studies, alongside CAIS Director Dr. Urla Marcus and American Indian Studies instructor Dr. Rosie Sprague will host a conversation about their new documentary, Howasteya Oyuspapi: Capturing Their Good Voices. The documentary was produced in 2022 and helps preserve elders’ cultural knowledge for future generations.

Gay Kingman (Lakota/Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe), Faith Spotted Eagle (Ihanktonwan/Oceti Sakowin), and Beverly Stabber Warne (Oglala Lakota/Oglala Sioux Tribe).
