 Film Trailer 

A poetic and insightful documentary by filmmaker Myles Aronowitz, that follows women from the Ramapough Lenape Nation - descendants of the original people of New York metropolitan area - participating in a portrait series with award winning photographer Lisa Levart.

 Film Synopsis 

Witness women and young girls reclaiming long forgotten ancestral stories, revealing personal connections to these narratives and in the process, raising awareness to a community whose tribal land is 20 miles outside of Manhattan.  Together, Levart and the women, embark on an intimate creative process that transports viewers into an indigenous, nature-loving world; ancient, contemporary, personal, and unabashedly - matriarchal.
