The Sacred Sundance: The Transfer of a Ceremony
This feature-length documentary documents the Sundance ceremony introduced to Eastern Canada by William Nevin of the Elsipogtog First Nation of the Mi'kmaq. Nevin drew knowledge from Elder Keith Chiefmoon of Alberta's Blackfoot Confederacy. Beneath a midsummer sky, participants endure four days without food or water, culminating in chest piercings offered to the Creator. This rite marks a transmission of culture and a link to the warrior traditions of the past.
