May 2012 visit to the White Mountain Apache Reservation. I travelled with Wally Antone and Walter Holmes, who were invited guests to the Sunrise Ceremony of Angie Andreas. Her father, Big John Andreas (Cahuilla/Apache), was the host, and the event was overseen by Apache Medicine Man Larold Pinal. We were guests of the Apache people during this important ceremony for Angie, and we were asked to film and document what we could of her coming-of-age ceremony, which will be shown in a separate documentary. During a break, my group visited Theodore Roosevelt Indian Boarding School, and I was inspired to do this video after coming face-to-face with the Apache side of my heritage and feeling like I wanted to capture the emotion of the moment.
Music by the White Mountain Apache people, Chris Haigh (song: "Joining All Nations") and Royaltyfreemusic.com (song: "Best Kept Secret").
