Mato Paha - Rally to Protect Bear Butte (DVD)

by Mark St. Pierre and Mitchell Zephier

A documentary on human rights, religious rights, and desecration of sacred sites.

While Avatar is a science fiction fantasy, Mato Paha is a Native reality and provides a real life depiction of what still happens when Native American and dominant society clash over land use. This though provoking, 60 minute film, looks deeply at opinions on both sides of the Bear Butte issue and the ever tightening grip of the Sturgis rally on the future of this revered mountain. www.bearbuttefilm.com

Congratulations Mitchell, Mark, Tilda and William on seeing the film to completion and having it carried at Birchbark books and having it acknowledged at the above named film festivals. I can truly say "I was there when..." In solidarity, former staff
