(Filmmaker in person)

“We don’t teach all of our children the same thing. If you teach them all the same, they won’t need one another and the world will split apart.” The teaching spirit of Twana elder Gerald Bruce (subiyay) Miller lives after him in the lives of everyone he touched with his knowledge of traditional culture, spirituality and art. It is also revealed, and available, to anyone who views this fine short film.
