Remaining Native Screening for the Wings network

Join Wings for a special virtual screening of "Remaining Native", featuring 2021 Wings National Team Member, Kutoven Stevens. The documentary (1hr 27min) follows Ku on his quest to use running as a way to "get off" the Yerington Paiute reservation in northern NV and become an Oregon duck. But along the way, running presents a new purpose: bringing awareness to the plight of Native American youth, like his great-grandfather, Frank Quinn, who were taken from their homes and placed in boarding schools across North America. Ku and his family organize a "Remembrance Run" from their home 50 miles over mountains and desert to Stewart Indian School, where his great-grandfather escaped from on foot three times before the age of eight.

After the screening, Ku will join Wings CVO, Dustin Martin, in a virtual conversation to answer questions about where he's at on his running journey today, as well as how the Remembrance Run has continued since the edition profiled in the film.

Thanks to Ku and the "Remaining Native" production team for making this special screening available to the Wings family!
