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!
