Paha Sapa video

The continuing struggle of the Cheyenne and Lakota Sioux peoples to regain their sacred ground is movingly portrayed in this documentary video, beginning with the arrival of white hunters in the early 1800s and continuing through the 1980 financial settlement for the Black Hills claim – which they still refuse. This award winning documentary was released in 1993, one year before the sacred white buffalo calf, “Miracle“ was born. Her birth was predicted by a Lakota prophecy that’s been held for many generations. The information in this documentary provides background for the legal stance -- TREATY rights -- being taken by the Standing Rock tribe in their resistance to the DAPL project.
