Film description

Kent Nerburn, award-winning author, will do a film screening of his book-to-film adaptation “Neither Wolf Nor Dog” at CSUMB’s World Theater on Friday, November 2, 2018.  This novel, published in 1994 and updated in 2002, is an important commentary about what it means to bear witness in Indian Country.  It takes place in current time and presents a non-fictional presentation of Lakota Indian themes, lifestyle and conflicts experienced by an eighty-some-year-old elder together with his family and friends.  It examines the role that Native Americans have played in the history of America and in the soul-development of whites.  The Elder speaks about Indian life, past and present and the values that are held close:  “Talk to the Creator”, “Be quiet more, listen to the earth instead of building things on it”.  “Don’t blame other people for your troubles”. “Don’t try to make people into something they’re not”.  It’s a must-see film and a must-read book for everyone.
