“It is hard to imagine that it is 30 years since the release of Powwow Highway.  It was a wonderful experience making the film and I am truly honored by the way in which the native community and others have embraced it over the years.  I am especially gratified that others followed in our footsteps and made relevant, contemporary native films about issues that matter. Let’s continue to harness that energy in a way that does not simply describe but changes it.” – dir. Jonathan Wacks

Two Cheyenne Indian friends with very different outlooks on life set off on a road trip. Philbert Bono (Gary Farmer) is a spiritual seeker trying to find the answers to life’s questions; his pal, Buddy Red Bow (A Martinez), is a realist who sees the world in black-and-white terms. When Buddy’s sister is jailed in Santa Fe, N.M., the mismatched duo hit the highway in Philbert’s dilapidated 1964 Buick and experience wild twists and turns on their journey of self-discovery.
