An Emmy award-winning filmmaker and Yale Fellow, Karyl Evans, will share her experience of bonding and working with Connecticut's Native tribes with the public Friday, Nov. 21, at the University of Wyoming.

Evans' presentation, "Building Relationships and Making Documentaries with the Northeast Woodland Native Peoples in Connecticut," will start at 2 p.m. in Room 118 of the Classroom Building.
