Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with the La Crescent Public Library and Chickasaw Nation Productions! These family-friendly films showcase two incredible Chickasaw women whose trials and triumphs brought their culture into the mainstream spotlight.

Our first feature is Pearl.

Set in 1920s rural Oklahoma, Pearl is based on the remarkable true story of Chickasaw aviatrix, Pearl Carter Scott, the youngest licensed pilot in American history. Mentored by world-renowned aviator Wiley Post, Pearl first pilots a plane at the age of twelve and becomes a commercial pilot and local celebrity before she reaches adulthood. As she finds love and becomes a wife and mother, her two greatest passions collide.

Pizza will be provided; drinks & additional food available for purchase. This event is co-sponsored by the Friends of the La Crescent Library and is part of our Native American Heritage Month series programs.
