The Chiefs' Prophecy: Survival of the Northern Cheyenne Nation

The Chiefs' Prophecy: Survival of the Northern Cheyenne Nation
Director: Leo Killsback
59 Minutes • USA • Documentary Feature

Filmed on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana, The Chiefs’ Prophecy chronicles the history of Northern Cheyenne leadership. From the Creation of the first warrior societies and the elaborate Council of Forty Four Chief system, and through brutal wars with the United States Army and the Reservation era, the Northern Cheyenne have survived. The modern challenges of colonization, loss of culture, and loss of spirituality have taken toll of the new generation of leaders. The Cheyenne philosophies of peace (Ma’heo’e) can be a means to rebuild the broken spirits of the Northern Cheyenne People. What does the future hold?
