The Little will screen Words From a Bear (Jeffrey Palmer, U.S. 2019, 86 min.) as part of the One Take Documentary Series.

Words from a Bear examines the enigmatic life of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Navarro Scott Momaday, one of Native America's most celebrated authors of poetry and prose. The film captures the essence of Momaday's writings in relation to his unique American experience representing ancestry, place, and history. Cinematically this story takes a spiritual journey through the expansive landscapes of the West, when Momaday's ancestors roamed the Great Plains with herds of buffalo, to the sand-painted valleys of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, where his imagination ripened and he showed superior writing skills as a young mission student.
