The third annual Trading Stories: a Native American Film Festival was hosted at the Chadron Public Library in July. Library Director Rossella Tesch and Marguerite Vey-Miller, from the Chadron Public Library Foundation, will talk about the 5 day event which included presentations, movies, food, discussions, guest artists, and a story time in Lakota. The highlight of the festival was the premiere of the Nebraska Public TV film Medicine Woman, a documentary that interweaves the lives of Native American women healers of today with the story of America’s first Native doctor, Susan La Flesche Picotte (1865-1915). The film will air nationally on PBS in November.
