Shoreline Community College’s First Nations Club talks back to Columbus on Mon., Oct. 12, with a day of events celebrating Indigenous People’s Day. Students, staff and faculty are invited to join a day of events that challenge non-Native ideas of Indianness and explore contemporary—and nearby—issues of Makah whaling and federal recognition of the Duwamish people.

Presented by Joshua Reid (Snohomish), Ph.D, Departments of History and American Indian Studies, University of Washington.

Princess Angeline, film – 11:30 a.m., PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208)
Co-sponsored by Project Pride – This film from independent indigenous filmmaker Sandra Johnson Osawa (Makah) and her partner Yasu Osawa uses the story of Chief Seattle’s oldest daughter—Princess Angeline or Kikisebloo—to explore the history of the Duwamish people and their so-far fruitless quest for federal recognition.
Smoke Signals, movie – 12:30–2:30 p.m., PUB Room 9202
Written, directed, co-produced and mostly acted by American Indians, Smoke Signalsis a road movie within an indigenous flair. With a screenplay written by Sherman Alexi (Spokane-Coeur d’Alene), the movie pokes fun at the way Native Americans are stereotypically imagined in America today and challenges non-Indian viewers to come to terms with Native American experiences and perspectives. Film will be followed with Native comedy shorts and discussion.

October 10, 2015 is World Mental Health Day!
World Mental Health Day is a yearly event celebrated on 10 October around the world. The day was created by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise public awareness of mental health issues.
It’s thought that around 154 million people around the world suffer from depression, so it’s likely that you or someone you know will be affected by mental illness during your lifetime. World Mental Health Day aims to get us all talking openly about mental illnesses and the treatment and preventions that are available to us all.
The day will be organized with the help of the World Federation for Mental Health which was founded in 1948 to prevent emotional and mental health disorders and help those who do suffer from them.
This year the theme is “Mental health and older adults” and you can show your support by making a donation at the World Federation for Mental Health website, or by joining in with one of the events organized for the day. Events include community workshops with talks from professionals to give you any advice you might need.
Visit the World Mental Health Day official website for more details and don’t be afraid to talk about your problems this World Mental Health Day.
Living with a Mental Health Condition
Living with a Mental Health Condition If you have a mental health condition, you’re not alone. 1 in 5 American adults experience some form of mental illness in any given year. And across the population, 1 in every 20 adults is living with a serious mental health condition such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or long-term recurring major depression.
As with other serious illnesses, mental illness is not your fault or that of the people around you, but widespread misunderstandings about mental illness remain. Many people don’t seek treatment, or remain unaware that their symptoms could be connected to a mental health condition. People may expect a person with serious mental illness to look visibly different from others, and they may tell someone who doesn’t “look ill” to “get over it” through willpower. These misperceptions add to the challenges of living with a mental health condition. Every year people overcome the challenges of mental illness to do the things they enjoy. Through developing and following a treatment plan, you can dramatically reduce many of your symptoms.
People with mental health conditions can and do pursue higher education, succeed in their careers, make friends and have relationships. Mental illness can slow us down but we don’t need to let it stop us. For more information on living with mental illness, click here.

The Multicultural Center will sponsor workshops, presentations and trainings every Friday in room 9102. For our first Friday of activities, please come and join us Fri. Oct. 9 for a viewing and discussion of two films:
STRUGGLE IN THE FIELDS – PUB 9102 at 10:30 a.m.
September 15-October 15 is Latino Heritage Month!
“The Struggle in the Fields,” examines the importance of Cesar Chavez and his efforts to organize farm workers in the central valley of California. It delineates the various components of Chávez’s strategy for farm worker self determination—strikes, boycotts, pilgrimages, fasts—and emphasizes his commitment to nonviolence and the importance of faith and prayer in achieving his goal. 58 minutes.
THE DELANO MANONGS – PUB 9102 at 11:45 a.m.
October is Filipino American History Month!
“The Delano Manongs” tells the story of farm labor organizer Larry Itliong and a group of Filipino farm workers who instigated one of the American farm labor movement’s finest hours – The Delano Grape Strike of 1965 that brought about the creation of the United Farm Workers Union (UFW). While the movement is known for Cesar Chavez’s leadership and considered a Chicano movement, Filipinos played a pivotal role. Filipino labor organizer, Larry Itliong, a cigar-chomping union veteran, organized a group of 1500 Filipinos to strike against the grape growers of Delano, California, beginning a collaboration between Filipinos, Chicanos and other ethnic workers that would go on for years. 30 minutes.
