Mato Paha: Rally to Protect Bear Butte “documents the escalating clash of cultures between those wanting to increase commercial use of the sacred site-Mato Paha (Bear Butte)-and those who strive to protect it and use it for religious purposes. Mato Paha clearly portrays the cultural contrast between Indigenous values, beliefs and practices and the American perspective of land ownership and constitutional separation of civil government and religion” (Press Release).

Lost Sparrow is documentary filmmaker Chris Billing’s journey to find the answers to why his two brothers, adopted out of the Crow community, ran away from their adopted home and died in upstate New York.
