Borrowed From The Earth

Borrowed From the Earth is a story about the powerful connection Blackfeet Indians have with horses and how that life-giving connection is alive today. Throughout their respective histories, both Horse and Indian have been corralled. Fences put horses in pens and Indians on reservations, but the centuries long attempts to subdue both were also successful in strengthening the connection between horse and man. This short film explains the value of this connection by taking viewers on a poetic journey from the origin story of the horse to the modern day Indian Relay Race. Set on the Blackfeet Reservation in Browning Montana, Borrowed from the Earth is an essay on relationships.
