In December 2008, a Winter Count created by Chief White
Horse was returned to the People. My Sister Jackie mailed me a copy. The interpreter for Chief White Horse was Harvey Left Handed Bear, our Great Grandfather.
Also, My Grandfathers, the only "Chief Dynasty" in the History of the Lakota Nation, The Chiefs White Swan, were also Winter Count Keepers.
Around the same time, my Cousin Karla invited us to a Lakota Language class she holds at her home. The idea was born to interview her Mother Ophelia. Karla drove us to Scotland, South Dakota to her Mother's home. Ophelia made a wonderful meal for us, and this documentary is the result of that memorable visit. Ophelia is my Mother's Sister, and therefore a direct descendant also of the Chiefs White Swan.
I see our Family coming together. I see Lakota People Healing through Relationships. The leaf does not choose its root.
