By: Donald L. Vasicek August 27, 2008 -- CENTENNIAL, CO -- Golden Drover Award winner for Best Native American Film in the Trail Dance Film Festival, “The Sand Creek Massacre”, has been archived in The Billie Jean Baguley Library and in the Heard Museum in Phoenix. Award-winning Writer/Filmmaker/ said, “By having the film archived in these prestigious institutions, my goal of informing, educating and creating awareness for the Cheyenne and Arapaho people via their oral histories in the film, helps all American native people. The Cheyenne and Arapaho people, vowed, after the Sand Creek Massacre, that they would live on this earth forever. The film keeps their dream alive regardless of the genocide that has stalked all American native people from the inception of European people’s arrival on their lands to the present. The film is a permanent recording of their ancestors and who they are as a people.” Vasicek continues his efforts to record the Cheyenne and Arapaho history. He has placed, “Ghosts of Sand Creek”, a two-hour, six episode series, into development. Vasicek said, “Ghosts of Sand Creek” will dimensionalize the Cheyenne and Arapaho people’s story. It will show the white man’s continuing invasion of their human rights. “I read recently where actor Brad Pitt raised $500,000 for people in Darfur. He should now raise money for American native people so that they can also eat. Walk down the main street in Lame Deer, Montana, on the Northern Cheyenne’s reservation. Cruise the Northern Arapaho Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. American natives on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota need groceries, socks, underwear, shirts, shoes, trousers, fuel to keep warm, etc. And they have to go across the border into Nebraska to buy liquor. You will experience, as I have, many times over, the abject poverty American natives experience. This is genocide at its finest in all centuries.” Vasicek said, “America’s native people need America’s help. Be part of ‘Ghosts of Sand Creek’.” Go to donvasicek.com for details. Contact: Donald L.
