On Sunday, May 10th from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., join us for the next Conservation workshop “Watch and Walk: A screening by Miami-Dade Public Library System and Latino Outdoors.“

The Miami-Dade Public Library holds one of the remaining, circulating 16mm film collections. The collection dates back to 1956 and was developed to be a teaching collection designed to be used for public programming. AV CLUB is an ongoing program of curated 16mm short film screenings designed to provoke discussion, create awareness of unique library resources held by the Special Collections Division of the Miami-Dade Public Library System and generate enthusiasm for learning and research.

At this event we will watch Unconquered Indians (28 min.) a 1974 documentary produced by the Junior League of Miami. The film is a social study of the Seminole and Miccosukee Indians of South Florida. After a brief history of their settlement in the early 1800s, the film presents the problems of housing, education, employment and medical needs on the various reservations at 40-mile Bend, Big Cypress and Hollywood. Glimpses of schooling and headstart programs are shown, as well as views of the traditional and modern adaptations made by the tribes. This workshop will be held at the Visitor Center Theater and is free to the public.
