Life in the Land: The Mighty Few [of Crow Nation], Montana - full film

Iikooshtaka’atbaatchaache, home of the Mighty Few. Historically, and still today, the Mighty Few (a District of the Apsáalooke or Crow Nation in Southeast Montana) have proven their name through resourcefulness, determination, and strength in unity. Witness the process of this community strengthening their connection to identity, the land, and community togetherness. Through truly grassroots efforts, the Mighty Few are guiding action that creates necessary healing, economic opportunities, and self-determination to thrive into the future. (https://www.wyoladevelopmentfund.com) We hope the film & podcasts can serve this community and support their work, as well as spark insight for other communities, Native and non-Native. Note: This film, and the accompanying podcasts, do have brief mentions of addiction and alcohol, and the podcasts have a brief reference to suicide. The mentions are included to address the realistic challenges, and offer relatable pathways to remain on a positive path. This film is part of the Life in the Land project, which are films and podcasts hearing perspectives from those who live and work within the complexities of the lands and waters of Montana.
