<div style="margin: 0px;">Synopsis</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">Margie and Robert Boldeagle are two of
the cofounders of a Native American drum and dance group based in
Staten Island, New York, an area not known for it's Native culture. <span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>This film explores the ways
they have come to place value on their identities as Native Americans,
and how they have worked to maintain this culture in their lives.<span
class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Without any links to a
reservation, and with uncertainty about their own backgrounds, they
have forged ties with other "Urban Indians," often of very different
tribes, in order to perpetuate Native American traditions. Their
efforts are set against the words and stories of Touching Leaves Woman,
one of the last elders raised in the traditional ways of the Lenape,
the tribe that originally lived in Staten Island and to which Margie
has ancestral ties.</div>
