MiLakóta Yeló (Latest Project/In Progress)

Filming began in early 2026 with an emphasis on listening. A Lakota-fluent elder shares her story, where language carries memory and memory is inseparable from the land. Her voice reflects the continuity of generations. This film examines matriarchy and cultural identity in Lakota country, grounded in relationship, place, and lived experience. The film is currently in the festival circuit for 2026 and 2027. Filmed on the Cheyenne River Lakota lands.

This film documents the run’s significance, the strength of the community, and the deep connection to history as runners retraced the path of survival and resilience.
