This Native athlete is so inspiring. 🏃🏽♂️💔
Kutoven Stevens is the subject of the new documentary Remaining Native (remainingnative) — the story of a young Indigenous runner chasing his dream of pursuing college athletics, while staying rooted in the community that raised him. 🤲🏼
“Remaining Native tells the story through the perspective of 17-year-old Kutoven Stevens (ku_stevens), a Native American distance runner navigating his way to college athletics, while the memory of his great-grandfather’s 50-mile escape from Indian boarding schools begins to connect past, present, and future.”
The award-winning documentary opens tomorrow, Friday Nov 21, in New York City as it begins its theatrical run. 🍿🔗
