FARGO -- The public is invited to attend a free showing of the 2012 documentary 'Dakota 38' at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Fargo Public Library, downtown Main Library, 101 4th St. N.

This event is being held as part of the 2024 One Book, One Community reading project, according to a release from the library.

"The film is a 78-minute documentary that follows horseback riders on a 330-mile route from Lower Brule, South Dakota, to Mankato, Minnesota, to arrive at the site of the hanging of 38 Dakota men at the end of the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862," the release said. "The horseback journey was inspired by a dream of Jim Miller, a Native American spiritual leader and Vietnam veteran."

After the film, Miller's relative Manja Hill will lead a discussion with attendees. Hill, a veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, is an enrolled member the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

There is no registration required for this all-ages event, the release said, however children younger than 9 must have an adult with them. Free popcorn will be provided.
