Two elderly Western Shoshone sisters, the Danns, put up a heroic fight for their land rights and human rights.
Film 2: STANDING ON SACRED GROUND: PILGRIMS AND TOURISTS (57 min) Directed by Christopher McLeod
Q&A with filmmaker via Skype
In the Russian Republic of Altai, traditional native people create their own mountain parks, to rein in tourism and resist a gas pipeline that would cut through a World Heritage Site. In northern California, Winnemem Wintu girls grind herbs on a sacred medicine rock, as elders protest U.S. government plans to enlarge one of the West's biggest dams and forever submerge this touchstone of a tribe. Winona LaDuke (Anishinaabe), Oren Lyons (Onondaga), Satish Kumar and Barry Lopez provide insights on a growing global indigenous movement for human rights and environmental protection.
