ABOUT IIFM:

IIFM's mission is to help educate, and create better visibility for individuals and institutions by providing digital media production, training and visibility for media produced by Indigenous filmmakers that carry the vision and the message of global awareness and spiritual healing through digital media.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:

Missy Whiteman belongs to the Arapaho and Kickapoo nations and understands her work to be a voice for her ancestors to educate and to foster better understanding among all peoples as well as to promote change in Native and non-Native other communities. 
While based in part on traditional ways and ideas, her work also addresses themes of loss in relation to larger cultural forces as well as the process of healing and redefining cultural identity.
