Happy Father's Day!

"Grown men can learn from very little children for the hearts of the little children are pure. Therefore, the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss." -- Black Elk (Oglala Lakota)

 

VisionMaker would like to reach out to all fathers this month to wish you a very happy Father's Day. You are a role model in the lives of tomorrow's generation and for that, we say thank you for being there!  

A gift idea for Dad...

Video Letters from Prison

 

Video Letters from Prison follows the lives of three Oglala Lakota sisters as they reconnect with their incarcerated father via a series of video letters. The Poor Bear girls are not sure they even want to connect--but their mother, Cindy, helps them overcome reluctance and hurt to participate in the letters. The change in her girls is immediate and beautiful. Connecting life's paths, Video Letters from Prison is a road flooded with emotions and spiritual growth.

NEW RELEASE: Standing Bear's Footsteps (Educational Version with PPR)

A Father, keeping a promise to his son...

 

In 1877, the Ponca people were exiled from their Nebraska homeland to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. To honor his dying son's last wish to be buried in his homeland, Chief Standing Bear set off on a grueling, six-hundred-mile journey home. Captured en-route, Standing Bear sued a famous U.S. army general for his freedom--choosing to fight injustice not with weapons, but with words. The Chief stood before the court to prove that an Indian was a person under the law.
