Description: “disrespectful, brave, and understated film, which urges the redress of profound historical errors, is itself an act of reparation. In the Light of Reverence reaches beyond cultural disputes to reveal and document the arena of human wisdom.”––Barry Lopez
Across the USA, Native Americans are struggling to protect their sacred places. Religious freedom, so valued in America, is not guaranteed to those who practiced land–based religion. Every year, more sacred sites––the land–based equivalent of the world's great cathedrals––are being destroyed. Stripmining and development cause much of the destruction. But rock climbers, tourists, and New Age religious practitioners are part of the problem, too.
In The Light of Reverence tells the story of 3 indigenous communities and the land they struggle to protect: the Lakota of the Great Plains, the Hopi of the Four Corners area, and the Wintu of Northern California.
Contents: Mato Tipila (Devil's Tower, Wyoming) (25 min.) --
Hopitutskwa (Hopi land, Northern Arizona) (23 min.) --
