MAC to Show Documentary for Native American Heritage Month

“Two Spirits”
7 p.m.
Nov. 5
Violette Hall Room 1010

The documentary “Two Spirits” interweaves the tragic story of a mother’s loss of her son with a revealing look at a time when many Native American cultures held places of honor for people of integrated genders.
 
Fred Martinez was a male-bodied person with a feminine nature, a special gift according to his ancient Navajo culture. But the place where discrimination meets is a dangerous place to live, and Fred became one of the youngest hate-crime victims in modern history when he was brutally murdered at 16. Between tradition and controversy, sex and spirit, and freedom and fear, lives the truth.

This event is sponsored by the Multicultural Affairs Center.
