KEEP YOUR HEART STRONG
A wonderful project!

Verlyn Anderson, educator

Keep Your Heart Strong is an hour-long documentary which gives an inside view of contemporary Native American culture in its most accessible and popular form: the pow-wow. Allowing dancers and singers to tell their own story, the camera captures many poignant moments of participants preparing their outfits, visiting with friends and watching over children.

The program shows that Indian celebrations are more than just a showcase for the colorful regalia and the energetic dancing, but also represent a community of people with shared values. Keep Your Heart Strong is about the the spirit of a people. It shows why traditional Native art forms are still relevant to today's Indian people, and how the values they represent have helped a people survive.
