Just in time for Earth Day, Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West is showing the 2019 Sundance Film Festival official selection, Words From a Bear. The documentary delves into the life of N. Scott Momaday, considered the first major player in the Native American Renaissance.
Momaday was a man of many talents: novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He received many awards, most notably the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1969 and the National Medal of Arts in 2007.
The movie features original animation, historical photos and aerial landscapes complemented by interviews with indigenous authors Rilla Askew and Joy Harjo (the first Native American United States Poet Laureate), actors Robert Redford, Jeff Bridges, James Earl Jones, Beau Bridges, and others.
This 2019 Sundance Film Festival official selection will be shown at the museum on Earth Day, Tues., April 22 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.
Admission is free for museum members and free with museum admission. It is $10 for just the program without admission.
