Tonight (Thursday), the George Fox University Players will be sharing our stories – real stuff from our lives!

We are exploring the theme “Looking Up.” When our everyday lives are interrupted, we lift our heads and see something new; when we have the presence of mind to put down our screens and be in the here and now; when our attention is captured by a neighbor, friend or stranger standing in front of us; when we look up and can’t help but be stunned by this amazing, beautiful world.

So join us in Wood-Mar Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. We’ve got a beautiful journey ahead of us!

The Center for Peace and Justice presents Promised Land, an indigenous film, on Tuesday, March 12, from 6 to 9 p.m. in Hoover 104.

Chinook Tribal Chairman Tony Johnson and the producers, Vasant and Sarah Salcedo, will be there for a Q&A following the film. Admission is free and the public is welcome.

Promised Land is an award-winning social justice documentary that follows two tribes in the Pacific Northwest, the Duwamish and the Chinook, as they fight for the restoration of treaty rights they have long been denied. In following their story, the film examines a larger problem in the way that the government and society still look at tribal sovereignty.

Students and faculty are welcome to come early, from 3 to 4 p.m., to meet Chinook Tribal Chairman Tony Johnson in Hoover 211 or the film producers, Vasant and Sarah Salcedo, in Hoover 250.
