Cangleška Wakan by Aitken Pearson, is a film project still in development. It is a feature performative documentary pertaining to the "Sacred Hoop" of the Lakota Nation.
Contributors to the film include: Albert White Hat Alex White Plume Arvol Looking Horse Birgil Kills Straight Charlene Hollow Horn Bear Charmaine White Face Dallas Chief Eagle Donovin Sprague Jim Hatzell Leonard Little Finger Marie Randall Melvin Miner Rosalie Little Thunder Russell Means Tom Buecker******* Cangleška Wakan is a docu-drama depicting the spiritual correlation between a bird (Red Backed Hawk which is actually the American Kestrel) and the Oglala Lakota Nation along with the meaning and relevance of the "sacred hoop."
The film is shot on and around the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota as well as key locations in Wyoming and Montana. A myriad of people from Holy Men to students describe in their own words what the sacred hoop means to them, how and when it was broken and if it can be mended. Taken from:www.medicinebowfilms.com/main.php******* The film addresses the concept of the Cangleska ( Sacred Hoop ) through a multitude of candid and overt contributors on the Pine Ridge, Rosebud and Cheyenne River Indian Reservations in South Dakota along with a historical re-enactment of the death of Crazy Horse, which according to many was the impetus which led to the demise of the Cangleska Wakan.Taken from:www.bbc.co.uk/dna/filmnetwork/U14081205******* A 5 minute excerpt of the film can be seen at:shootingpeople.org/watch/film.php?film_id=75969

beautiful excerpt, landscapes with buzzards, music by pink lfoyds roger waters a must see
the cangleska is broken all agree, it has to mended all agree how, by words? if black elk could not teach it no one will. russelM said you can only go as fast as the people wish you to move so that will be.. never? an outside common threat or a huge natural disaster will in W' opinion replace theory by deeds and make words of wisdom confront reality untill then preserve what you can lakota
looking forward to the DVD (if that comes out before where I live is flooded, greenland's and norways glaciers are going highspeed:-X)
