Keepers of the Way
2023 22 min
In this intimate portrait told through the eyes of members of the Pennsylvania Lenape Nation, a challenging spiritual journey unfolds to heal past wounds and keep a culture alive. Over the course of a weekend, Lenape tribe members perform healing ceremonies for the land affected by the Walking Purchase—a notorious event that changed the course of the tribe's future. The struggles, joy, pain, and resilient spirit of the Lenape all bubble to the surface as the tribe members share stories passed down through the generations and reveal their visions for the future of life on Earth. The Lenape are here to tell the world that not only are they still here—they never left. 50% off all proceeds will go to the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania.
