Voices of the West

Cam Mackey
United States, 2023, 49 min.


Challenging generalized perceptions of cowboys as white, European descendants, this documentary celebrates Native American contributions to American cowboy culture and the rich heritage of Native Americans in the modern West. Against the majestic landscapes of Montana and Wyoming, Native Americans work their land and livestock, participate in rodeo events, and reflect on the rich history of the “Indian Cowboy.”
