Robby Romero "Makoce Wakan" - Trailer
Back"Makoce Wakan" - Rockunemtary Trailer : "Feedback has been more than positive: Congratulations on a very successful show that has generated more viewer calls than any other show to date." - VH1 / MTV Networks
"Makoce Wakan" explores Native Peoples connection to the land; their beliefs, traditions, and philosophies. This VH1 World Alert special focuses on Native Peoples Sacred Sites, The Black Hills and Bear Butte in South Dakota and Mount Graham in Arizona. These Sacred Sites have been used and protected by American Indians for religious and medicinal purposes from time immemorial, and are currently threatened by recreational, commercial, and industrial development. To Indigenous Peoples, Sacred Sites symbolize a productive and positive spiritual unity between human beings and "Mother Earth", a relationship Native Peoples have long understood.
Written, directed and hosted by Robby Romero and co-written by Suzan Shown Harjo, "Makoce Wakan" offers insights about the personal, spiritual, and political importance of protecting Sacred Sites with appearances by: Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colorado), Richard Moves Camp (Oglala Lakota Spiritual Leader), Audrey Shenandoah and Betty Jacobs (Onondaga Clan Mothers), Franklin Stanley (Apache Spiritual Leader), Ola Cassadore (Apache Survival Coalition), and Chief Leon Shenandoah (Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy). The special is scored by Robby Romero and features the music of Red Thunder and Buddy Redbow along with traditional dances and live performances shot on location in Lakota, Apache, and Onondaga Territories.
"From the gorgeous aerial of the precipitous Black Hills to the close-up views of wild flowers underscored by Red Thunder's earnest music this marvelous film is a must see the world views of American Native Peoples." - Native Peoples Magazine
"Makoce Wakan" is available on the CD/DVD release, "NATIVE CHILDREN'S SURVIVAL If not now, when? If not you, who?".
"Native Children's Survival" is an essential CD/DVD collection of music, music videos, rockumentary films and public service announcement campaigns about the critical need to permanently protect our last remaining wild places and bridge the gap between Indigenous Peoples, Human Rights and the Environment.

AH you are Robby Romero!NOW after so many years I know what you look LIKE!!
I bought your CD in the 90's in New Mexico and it was like a lightning in my soul. I searched finding out WHO you were with no luck and NOW I stumble about YOU. I just bow to you in respect. I understand and believe all you say I am from Hawaii who was stolen from the natives by America.
