The film is dedicated to hearing the voices of Our Pueblos, Tribes, Nations Elders, and their relationship to Mother Earth. To educate others on the values that are important to all of us in this world. How relations to each as a whole are important in building and holding strong partnerships in the protection of the Continental Divide Landscape. The film contains a strong message from the Indigenous people, “True Stewards of the Land ”, concerning their stolen lands and Western conservation efforts, and aims to help others better understand the values of Indigenous stewardship versus Western conservation views.
