 IN THE HANDS OF THE RAVEN:
 Examines one of the greatest and most artful cultures in human history:
 the indigenous people of Canada's Pacific Northwest coast. But this
examination is not a
 distant  anthropological exploration, nor as museum dust, but as a
living legacy to
 the culture  and artists who have created it. It weaves a rich
tapestry through the
 dancers, the storytellers and the carvers who proudly carry the
spirit of this vibrant
 living culture while also examining its role in contemporary society.


 IN THE LIGHT OF REVERENCE:
 Devils Tower. The Four Corners. Mount Shasta. All places of extraordinary
 beauty —  and impassioned controversy — as Natives and non-Natives struggle to
 co-exist with very different ideas about how the land should be used.
For Native
 Americans, the land is sacred and akin to the world's greatest
cathedrals. For others,
 the land should be used for industry and recreation. Narrated by
Peter Coyote and Tantoo
 Cardinal (Metis), IN THE LIGHT OF REVERENCE is a beautifully rendered
account of
 the struggles of the Lakota in the Black Hills, the Hopi in Arizona
and the Wintu in
 California to protect their sacred sites.
