"In the Light of Reverence"

In the Light of Reverence
(2000, 72 min., video)
Producer/Director: Christopher McLeod
Coproducer: Malinda M. Maynor (Lumbee)

Three Native communities struggle to preserve lands of spiritual significance-the Lakota at Devil's Tower in Wyoming, the Hopi in the Four Corners of the Southwest, and the Wintu at Mount Shasta in California-against intrusion by outsiders. Use of these sites for resource extraction, recreation, and tourism pose a threat to American Indian religious practices. Presented at the 2001 Environmental Film Festival in Washington, D.C., by the National Museum of the American Indian and the Hirshhorn Museum.
