The Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Native Film Series showcases a selection of unique films that feature original and diverse indigenous stories. All films were directed, written, produced by, and/or star Native Americans. 

Local community activist Matthew Davila (Standing Rock Dakota) curated the series and will lead a short presentation before each film.

Starring Val Kilmer, Thunderheart Follows an FBI agent investigating a series of murders on a small Native American reservation. Inspired by real life events, Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist, was imprisoned after the death of two FBI Agents in 1975. Leonard was pardoned by President Joe Biden in January 2025.
