Quick Overview
A Mark St. Pierre & Mitchell Zephier film.
A documentary on human rights, religious rights and the desecration of sacred sites.
Many Plains Indian tribes have looked to Bear Butte or Mato Paha as a place to commune with Tunkashila (God) and our dead ancestors. It is considered a holy place.
Description
While "Avatar" is a science fiction fantasy, MATO PAHA is native reality and provides a real life depiction of what still happens when Native Americans and the dominant society clash over land use.
This thought provoking 60 minute film looks deeply at opinions on both sides of the Bear Butte issue and the ever tightening grip of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally on the future of this revered mountain.
