A Free screening of Walk Like a Warrior: The Apache Skateboards Story
'Walk Like a Warrior' unveils the entrepreneurial spirit of a Native owned and operated skateboard company on the Apache Reservation. 'Walk Like a Warrior' represents Native pride, history and culture in a unique, bold and innovative way. With the help of skateboarding, the Apache Skateboards crew rolls right past tired cliches, stereotypes and myths about Native Americans in the 21st Century. Poet Mark Gonzales will begin the evening with poetry, and Douglas Miles, founder of Apache Skateboards, will speak after the screening!
