"Growing up.....I was never a victim."  These words, spoken by Karen Sterner, a Lakota Indian Elder who is wheelchair bound today and faces dialysis three times a week, are powerful, and they represent the title of an upcoming program that will involve sharing a glimpse into the life of this remarkable woman.  Dr. Susan Krook, a professor at Normandale College in Bloomington, MN is honored and excited to show this recently completed film, "Rainbow Woman - The Legacy of a Lakota Woman's Strength." It will be introduced first in Crosslake to share this woman's way of passing on the Lakota way of life to others,  Dr. Krook will introduce the film and explain how she met Karen years ago and has been honored to learn so much from her and her family for several years.  She will help us trace the life of Karen, from her childhood on the Rosebud Reservation to the boarding school experiences, to painful accounts of bullying in schools, her presentation of Midwestern Indians in Washington DC and being with Eleanor Roosevelt, to college and eventually sharing her strength with others through teaching.  Karen shares her philosophy for living and staying strong - weathering hardships and today finding contentment with her family members.  Her story is one for all of us.
