MISC: FILM: LAKOTA NATION VS. UNITED STATES We should always remember that Las Vegas is on land stolen from the Southern Paiute or Nuwuvi people. A new documentary film from IFC takes a closer look at the Black Hills and the Lakota people’s fight for their ancestral land. Like many of the state’s dealings with Native Americans, the United States violated its own treaty when it seized the South Dakota and Wyoming mountain range in the 1870s, opening it up to settlement and prospectors in search of gold. The Lakotas’ efforts to get that land back continue to this day, even after the state, by order of the Supreme Court, has been ordered to pay more than $2 billion in remuneration for the land. Presented by Black Mountain Institute and Nuwu Art, this screening will be followed by a conversation with Poet Layli Long Soldier, Black Mountain Institute’s executive director Colette LaBouff and chief judge for the Las Vegas Paiute Tribal Court Kostan Lathouris. 6:30 p.m., free with required reservation, Beverly Theater, blackmountaininstitute.org. –Shannon Miller

MUSIC: MORRIS DAY & THE TIME What time is it? Why, it’s time to receive funk pioneer and onetime Prince bandmate Morris Day, coming to Vegas just a few months after his summertime appearances at the Strat were rescheduled. The 21st century iteration of the Time isn’t the same unit you remember from Purple Rain—no Jesse Johnson, no Jam and Lewis or hype man Jerome Benton, though drummer and guitarist Jellybean Johnson remains on board—but it’s still led by the funky dynamo who gave us “Jungle Love,” “The Walk,” “Jerk Out,” “The Bird” and “777-9311,” and the cooler temperatures of September will enable you to dance to these party classics even harder than you would have last July, when it was hot enough to melt an ice cream castle even in the AC. Bonus: the Time will be joined on stage by legendary ZZ Top singer and guitarist Billy Gibbons, and perform a new band single, “Too Much Girl 4 Me.” 8 p.m., $75-$125, Strat Theater, thestrat.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: MOTIONLESS IN WHITE With Knocked Loose, After the Burial, Alpha Wolf, 7 p.m., Theater at Virgin, axs.com.

ARTS: BEHOLD THE MAN You know this story, even if you think you don’t know this story. In 2012, amateur restorer Cecilia Giménez goes to work on the “Ecce Homo” in Borja, Spain and turns the circa-1930 painting of Jesus Christ into something, well ... something else, which then becomes a viral internet sensation. The elderly, would-be artist is first shamed, then celebrated when tourists seek out the renovated painting sometimes called “Ecce Mono (Monkey Christ).” This all really happened, folks, and this week, Opera Las Vegas presents the world premiere of Paul Fowler and Andrew Flack’s Behold The Man, a “contemporary comic opera” based on the infamous incident. College of Southern Nevada’s Horn Theatre hosts two performances of this hybrid music theater endeavor that weaves classical, Spanish folk, K-pop and Gregorian chants into a compelling musical mix, and Marisa Ibáñez, niece of Giménez, will travel from Spain to celebrate at the premiere. Only in Vegas? Guess so. 7:30 p.m. (& 10/1, 2 p.m.), $10-$50, Horn Theatre, operalasvegas.com. –Brock Radke
