Walter Echo-Hawk (Pawnee Tribe) is a Native American attorney, speaker, activist and author. He will be discussing his new book, “In the Light of Justice: The Rise of Human Rights in Native America and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.”

In celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day (Monday, October 13), the Washington State University (WSU) Clearinghouse on Native Teaching and Learning will feature the film The Lost Fish, jointly produced by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission and Freshwaters Illustrated and selected for the EcoFilm Festival.  Also honoring the memory of the late Elmer Crow of the Nez Perce Tribe, the movie explores the importance of the lamprey eel to the Plateau tribes and tribal actions to ensure that these ancient fish return to their native rivers and streams throughout the Columbia River Basin.  Share an evening celebrating the contemporary lives of Indigenous people from our region, through this film shown on Monday, October 13, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in WSU’s Cleveland Hall Room 30W.  Please call 509-335-3478 with questions.
