LIFE LAKOTA | The Cheyenne River Reservation

Over-The-Rhine International Film Festival - Grand Jury’s Short Documentary WINNER Life Lakota captures the state of the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation in South Dakota today. The Lakota culture is fading and their voices must be heard. Local leaders are taking action to educate the youth while organizations like the Sioux YMCA are helping kids stay above the influence of many of the extreme adversities that the reservation presents them. Lakota people are humble, proud and full of faith, we are honored to help tell their story. Produced by Vativ Media: In association with Lost Traveler Films Apologies to Orville Mestes (Soldier Bear) of the Lakota Nation for misrepresenting his name. Love and respect to you and your people.
