Idaho's Forgotten War
In the 1930s, the Kootenai people lived in teepees
near Bonners Ferry. Their allotment lands had been dissipated
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1974, a remarkable woman
led the Kootenai Tribe and declared WAR on the United States.
This documentary profiles the courage and faith of Amy Trice
and the Idaho Kootenai Tribe. Q & A by Sonya Rosario and
Amy Trice will follow the film. Native American drumming will
precede the screening on The Flicks lawn. Tickets are $10.
"I waited for the right person to tell this story
and Sonya
Rosario was she." Amy Trice, Chair of the Kootenai Tribe,
