A documentary film that explores the unique ways in which young Native Americans are finding to express themselves in a contemporary world while maintaining strong traditional lives.
Since native youth do not often see reflections of themselves or their communities in mainstream media, we wanted to make a film that features native young people and role models who are finding exciting and positive ways to direct their lives. We also wanted the youth to learn the importance of self-motivation in combination with traditional teachings to help prepare for the challenges of everyday life.
