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.
Questions? Contact Tricia Hornback at thornback@georgefox.edu or Laurie Fair at Lfair@georgefox.edu.

All are invited to the 2019 Spring Faculty Lecture tonight (Tuesday) at 6 p.m. in Hoover 105.
Nijay K.Gupta’s lecture, “People of Faith: Why the First Christians Called Themselves ‘Believers,'” will focus on why followers of Jesus adopted the label “believers†in reference to their identity, and even referred to their religion as “the faith.†What significance did this pose for them? Was it primarily about “beliefs,†or something more? Gupta will explore these important historical questions and also address the relevance this discussion has for Christian identity today.
Gupta is the recipient of the 2017-18 Faculty Achievement Award for Graduate Research and Scholarship and an associate professor of New Testament at Portland Seminary.Â
Come between 5 and 6 p.m. and check out the work of our Richter Student Scholars and Steinfeldt Peace Scholars at a symposium in the Hoover lobby. Students will present their research and peace projects in a conversational poster format. Refreshments will be served.
Questions? Contact Laurie Fair at lfair@georgefox.edu.

This Thursday, March 7, the George Fox University Players will be sharing stories with you, 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!
Questions? Contact Araya Glancy at aglancy16@georegfox.edu.
