Native American Documentary Film Series: Pure Grit
Native American Documentary Film Series
In recognition of Native American Heritage Month and in complement to our Tipi to Tiny House exhibit, the Museum is presenting four documentary films over the course of three Sunday afternoons in November. The films will have a special focus on the Northern Arapaho of the Wind River Reservation, whose traditional territory includes what is now Longmont.
Each film screening is free and will conclude with an audience Q&A.

Chronicling three years in the life of a young Native American bareback horse racer, her dogged determination, and the relationships that sustain her. In the remote Wyoming wilderness of the Wind River reservation, Sharmaine and her girlfriend Savannah begin to build a life for themselves. They hope for better. But the atmosphere at home soon turns toxic and the young lovers are forced to leave for the industrial Commerce City, Denver.
The city brings freedom and opportunity, but also distractions and a strain on their fledgling relationship. When racing season starts up, Sharmaine and Savannah hit the road and put it all on the line. With a new horse from her city earnings, Sharmaine sees the potential for a fresh start. But life, like the race track, doesn’t always go according to plan.
