As we study our family history. God’s spirit guides us on our own personal journey to build strength and to know who we are on a personal level. Through this documentary project, I hope to inspire people globally to reframe their ideas about their own stories and to create renewed and richer relationships with their own families and their own tribal communities.

The same sun will illuminate us,
We will have but one word, our hearts
Will make but one, we will eat together
Like brothers...
