Description:
TY RATTLER - BLACKFEET ENDURANCE RACER - 2 min
People from all over come together during the Heart Butte Powwow in Montana to watch the Endurance Race - an action packed horse race where the rider even swims with the horse.

CREE CODE TALKER - 14 min
During the Second World War, the Allied Forces utilized Indigenous language speakers to transmit coded messages that could not be broken. The contributions of Charles "Checker" Tomkins are revealed in this insightful look into how the Cree language was used as a vital secret weapon in combat.

OYATE - 73 min
OYATE is a film about life on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. It follows two families as they go about their daily activities over the course of a single summer. They attend rodeos, shoot clay pigeons, and participate in pow wows. Family members get married, have children, and celebrate the 4th of July. All the while, the difficult, often intractable realities of modern reservation life threaten to encroach upon them.
