All are invited to attend an event in the Longhouse at The Evergreen State College this Friday, April 7.

We will begin the evening with a performance by local Skokomish singers and drummers. The night’s feature is a one-woman show written and performed by Diane Benson, a Tlingit woman hailing from Southeast Alaska.
***THE EVENT IS FREE OF CHARGE.***

An acclaimed poet, playwright and actress, Diane has performed "Voicing Tribal Women" locally in Alaska as well as nationally, including this past month at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC. This piece features "When My Spirit Raised Its Hands," a true tale of Native Civil Rights in the 1940s through the lens of Elizabeth Peratrovich, a Tlingit forerunner of Native women taking a stand against oppression. Diane portrays other characters with a quick wit, along with an underlying message that gives voice to the Native woman’s perspective in the crazy world we live in today.

Please join us in the Longhouse at Evergreen from 6pm-9pm and help us out by spreading the word! Do not hesitate to email us back with any questions or just give us a ring at 360.867.6105.
