Experiencing Interruptions?

Wolf Point: Red Road Stories

This visually stunning documentary, filmed on the remote plains of the Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Indian Reservation in Northeastern Montana, features the intimate perspectives of Assiniboine tribal members, whose stories, memories and commentary convey their knowledge of cultural history and their passion and concern for their tribe and its future.

A dream that became a mission inspired narrator True Archdale to return to Wolf Point after living in Los Angeles for three decades. Raised by her Assiniboine grandparents and influenced throughout her life by the teachings of her tribal community, she felt compelled to return to the reservation of her childhood to capture important personal stories of multiple generations. True believed that a record of these stories and memories could be useful in preserving the tribe’s cultural heritage.

Powerful scenery and a uniquely composed soundtrack inspire viewers to take a deeper look at our collective connection to the earth. Wolf Point, Red Road Stories gives a glimpse into the complex nature and perseverance of the Assiniboine people, who after thousands of years hold close their cultural identity and continue to pass it on to future generations, while spiritually prospering in today’s world.
