Lost Nation: The Ioway

Lost Nation explores the dramatic saga of the Ioway Indians from their ancestors - known as the Oneota - to their present day locations in Kansas and Oklahoma. It tells the dramatic true story of two brothers' struggle to save their people from inevitable American conquest, and the Ioway's current fight to reclaim and maintain their unique history and culture. Filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle are perhaps best known for their award-winning documentary Villisca: Living with a Mystery, which won Best Documentary at the 2006 CRI Film Festival. The 50-minute screening of Lost Nation will be followed by a panel discussion with the filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle; Lance Foster, a member of the Ioway tribe; and David Gradwohl, professor emeritus of anthropology at Iowa State.
