TRIBAL WOOD FILMS announces new Chicago area film showing. WTTW will air UrbanRez on Sunday, November 10, 2013, at 3:00 p.m. Be sure to tune in to the ground breaking film. Urban Rez explores the controversial legacy and modern-day repercussions of the Urban Relocation Program (1952-1973), the greatest voluntary upheaval of Native Americans during the 20th century. During the documentary, dozens of American Indians representing tribal groups from across the West recall their first-hand experiences with relocation, including the early hardships, struggles with isolation and racism. Interviewees also speak about the challenges of maintaining ones own tribal traditions — from language to hunting — while assimilating into the larger society. Actor, musician and Oglala Lakota member Moses Brings Plenty narrates this insightful film about this seldom-told chapter in American history. schedule.wttw/episodes/278897/Urban-Rez/
