Chief Mountain Hike, September 20, 2010

This is a little video I put together of some good friends sharing a hike up Chief Mountain on the Blackfeet Reservation in Montana. Chief Mountain is sacred to our people and you can almost feel the presence of the ancestors as you make your way up the trails. It was a windy day on this day so a trip to the summit was out of the question. The peace & solitude of the journey more than made up for the disappointment of not reaching the summit. The songs were inspired by the trek and I also used a recording of the superb flute playing of Raymond Many Bears Jr. I hope you enjoy it!
