Reg Pettibone, a Native American champion dancer of the Ho-Chunk Nation in Wisconsin, along with members of his family, offers an authentic exploration of Native American culture through dance, song, and narration, all with a strong environmental focus. Pettibone shares his belief that these dances have existed since the dawn of humanity and must continue to be passed down to future generations.
