In the Light of Reverence Ten years in the making, In the Light of Reverence explores American culture’s relationship to nature in three places considered sacred by native peoples: Devils Tower in Wyoming, the Colorado Plateau in the Southwest and Mount Shasta in California. Rich in minerals and beloved by recreational users, these “holy lands” exert a spiritual gravity that pulls Native Americans into conflict with mining companies, New Age practitioners and rock climbers. Ironically, all sides see themselves as besieged. This award-winning film documents the Lakota, Hopi and Winnemem Wintu efforts to protect their most sacred places. Their battles tell a new story of culture clashes in an ancient landscape.

Chaco Canyon Archaeology Astronomy Solstice Project
The Solstice Project studies the rich astronomical heritage of the ancient Chaco culture in the American Southwest. Founded in 1978 by Anna Sofaer, our non-profit organization has published research, books and award-winning films that document how the Chaco culture's ceremonial architecture was built to align with the cycles of the sun and moon. We also created the stunning Sun Dagger site atop Fajada Butte, that casts light patterns marking the solar and lunar cycles on spiral rock carvings. Our ground-breaking research of Chaco architecture and roads continues to enrich studies of archaeology, archaeoastronomy, anthropology and Native American cultures. https://www.solsticeproject.org
