I recently travelled to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, the home to the Oglala Lakota Nation and I met with the women that are the backbone of the community and keepers of their ancient wisdom.

These photos presented are stills from my upcoming feature documentary film about the Native Women that live on the Indian reservations in America. Their stories of loss, suicide, murder and epidemic meth addiction amongst their community are mirrored by their deep ancestral roots, traditional ceremony, prayer and hope.
