Standing Alone eVideo

Pete Standing Alone is a Blood Indian who, as a young man, was more a part of the white man's culture than his own. However, confronted with the realization that his children knew very little about their origins, he became determined to pass down to them the customs and traditions of his ancestors. This hour-long film is a powerful autobiographical study of a 25-year span in Pete's life, from his early days as an oil rig roughneck, rodeo rider and cowboy, to the present as an Indian concerned with preserving his tribe's spiritual heritage in the face of an energy-oriented industrial age. (Awards: San Antonio; Vancouver.).

  • "Pete Standing Alone is a Blood Indian of Alberta, Canada, who grew up more at home in the white man's world than his own. Low's documentary, spanning 25 years, meshes footage from his earlier film, Circle of the Sun, a portrait of Standing Alone as a young man, with a contemporary follow-up. In the earlier profile, Pete, an erstwhile rodeo rider and oil rig roughneck, returns home to attend his tribe's gathering at the Sun Dance camp. For him, it is a bittersweet occasion. The elders meet in the central tipi to perform sacred rituals and tell stories while younger members of the tribe, virtual outsiders to their culture, wait for the public ceremonies to begin at the periphery of the "circle." Today, Pete Standing Alone, now a middle-aged man, is actively engaged in preserving the traditional ways of the tribe and inculcating a sense of pride in his children. Under the guidance of an older mentor, Pete prepares for a sign transfer which will permit him to use his grandfather's elk symbol on his tipi. As a member of the tribal council, Standing Alone pursues employment opportunities for his people, monitors resource development, and asserts land claims. In leisure time, he enjoys watching his beloved stallions frolic on the plains."

  • "Tells the life story of Pete Standing Alone and the life of the Blood, members of the Blackfoot Confederacy."
  • "In an autobiographical documentary, Pete Standing Alone, a Blood (or Blackfoot) Indian, talks about the changes he has seen in Plains Indian life in Canada during the years 1965-1990. Includes film clips from throughout that period as Standing Along talks of the loss of religious knowledge with the deaths of the elders, and how some of the young people are becoming more interested in their Indian heritage. The Sundance ceremony and stone circles found throughout the Alberta, Canada, area are shown along with evidence of the Indian presence there for over 5,000 years; horses were introduced only 150 years ago. As a tribal council member he participated in discussions of treaties and land claims and oil rights -- all factors leading his people away from their Indian heritage."@en
