ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:
Missy Whiteman belongs to the Arapaho and Kickapoo nations and understands her work to be a voice for her ancestors to educate and to foster better understanding among all peoples as well as to promote change in Native and non-Native other communities.
While based in part on traditional ways and ideas, her work also addresses themes of loss in relation to larger cultural forces as well as the process of healing and redefining cultural identity.
