Wind River - A new film in production

In December, we began a new collaboration with Wyoming PBS. The project, tentatively titled 'Wind River', includes a film about the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes living on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming, and a multimedia virtual museum of their ancestral artifacts currently housed in museums like the Smithsonian. Some of these artifacts have been inaccessible to tribal members for over two hundred years. We're very excited to be working with our friends at Wyoming PBS including Geoff O'Gara (who had the idea for the virtual museum), Ruby Calvert, and Bob Connelly.

We'll be interviewing tribal elders in an effort to preserve their wisdom, ultimately taking them and some tribal youth on an emotional journey to reclaim their history. Our hope is to show how deep wounds might be healed by reconnecting with sacred objects from the past. Look for dispatches from the field as the film develops.
