Powwow Highway - OFFICIAL TRAILER

The road movie gets a smart update with this seriocomic tale of two Cheyenne men traveling from their reservation in Montana to New Mexico. For one of them, Buddy Red Bow (A Martinez), a quick-tempered activist, the journey is a practical one; his sister has been arrested and he is the only family member who can help her out. Buddy has no transportation, so he's forced to ride with Philbert Bono (Gary Farmer), a phlegmatic hulk of a man who is using his 1964 Buick as a vehicle for a spiritual journey of his own. Philbert's easygoing ways and insistence on frequent stops to meditate prove irritating at first to Buddy, but the men reach an accommodation as the trip wears on. Buddy comes to see that blaming the white man and what he sees as system rigged against Native Americans is distracting him from his true mission: to better understand himself and his place in the world.

As the author of 'Powwow Highway', I'm adapting my book and film to a musical stage version 'POWWOW!' See some sample rough cuts of the multimedia production at Ciniweb here on YouTube.

@David63181 Where did the radio store "disturbance" took place? I always figured it was in maybe Sheridan or Buffalo, WY.

Was and still one of my favorite movies. I'll always look at Sweet Butte State Park with a smile every time I drive to Rapid City.
