Join us for a watch party of the groundbreaking hit TV series Reservation Dogs. Co-created by Sterlin Harjo (Seminole/Muscogee) and Taika Waititi (Maori), Reservation Dogs follows the exploits of four Indigenous teenagers living in a small town in rural Oklahoma. The first five episodes establish the friendships and community of Elora, Bear, Willie Jack, and Cheese; their love of Flaming Flamers and catfish; and their dream of going to California to honor their best friend, Daniel. Written, directed, and made with an almost entirely Native cast and crew, the critically acclaimed, character-driven show celebrates Indigenous storytelling, humor, and sovereignty. 2021, US, digital, 131 min.
Tickets available one hour before the screening from the front desk. Want to see more? All episodes stream on Hulu.
