AMIPA and Doyon Foundation are co-presenting a fundraiser screening at <a href=\"https:\/\/beartooththeatre.filmbot.com\">Bear Tooth Theatre Pub<\/a> on\u00a0<strong>Sunday, November 16 at 4:00 PM<\/strong>. Folks often ask where they can watch this film, and this is one great way. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if it sells out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMIPA\u2019s Kevin Tripp shared why this one matters right now: \u201cMost importantly: it\u2019s a great movie, shot in Alaska with Alaskans, that tells an amazing Alaska\u2014and Alaska Native\u2014story.\u201d He also noted the film is showing from a new Digital Cinema Package (DCP), which is a fresh digital version that the director and cinematographer say hasn\u2019t looked this good on a big screen since 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A part of the proceeds benefit Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association (AMIPA)and the Doyon Foundation. AMIPA\u2019s share supports an endowment at the Alaska Community Foundation in memory of Lael Morgan, so your ticket helps preserve Alaska\u2019s moving-image history while you enjoy a classic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tickets are $15 and on sale now: <a href=\"https:\/\/beartooththeatre.filmbot.com\/movies\/spirit-of-the-wind-1979-presented-by-amipa\/\">beartooththeatre.filmbot.com\/movies\/spirit-of-the-wind-1979-presented-by-amipa\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If George Attla\u2019s story has touched you, or if you\u2019ve never seen the \u201cHuslia Husler\u201d brought to life, come out, bring friends and family, and help spread the word. Heritage Month is the perfect time to celebrate Alaska Native stories on Alaska\u2019s big screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See Spirit of the Wind (1979)\u2014the George Attla biopic\u2014Sun, Nov 16 at 4pm at Bear Tooth TheatrePub. $15 fundraiser benefiting AMIPA and Doyon Foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[36,436,437,134,170,435],"class_list":["post-6196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alaska-nativeindigenous-people","tag-alaska-native-heritage-month","tag-amipa","tag-doyon-foundation","tag-george-attla","tag-koyukon-athabascan","tag-spirit-of-the-wind","without-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6196"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6196\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6200,"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6196\/revisions\/6200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athabascanwoman.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
