NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY LESSON AT THE ANGELIKA!
A special screening of The Trail of Tears Chero
kee Legacy will take place at the Angelika-Plano
on November 30, 2006 at 700 p.m.
The two hour documentary, made by the local prod

of the Cherokee Nation to Oklahoma in 1838.

during the grim removal process. Immediately
following the screening, a question and answer
panel will occur with filmmakers Heape and Richie
and four Collin County Community College
professors. The film is narrated by actor James
Earl Jones, who is part Cherokee, and is also
told by Wes Studi (Last of the Mohicans) in the
traditional Cherokee language with subtitles. It
is FREE for Collin students/faculty, 5.00 for
the general public, and is being shown in
partnership with Collin's Center for Scholarly
Civic Engagement.
