Follow this exciting journey as Native American youth show the world that they can do great things when EMPOWERED.

Why 'Empowered'?

“I wanted to share some of the positive and amazing things that were happening in Native Country with some wonderful Native youth of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. Lynn Roanhorse, a community member, invited me to work with her on developing a film workshop that could empower her youth. After a few years of joint effort, I realized what an amazing thing was happening, and so went to work to try and capture some of that for the world to see. I believe we did."
​- Holt Hamilton
