The ongoing project is about the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana, USA. It gives an Impression of the outcome of the 1851 Appropriations Act, that forced Native Americans into Reservations, with a focus on how and where they live, as well as their struggle trying to maintain their century-old left culture in the face of a twofold enemy: Ignorance by the White Man and the indifference of young people towards their own traditions.

It documents a community and shows life and circumstances that most people don‘t know about. The project reflects on what people live on a Reservation: what they do, how they maintain their beautiful centuries-old culture – which is dying out – and how much of their culture is left in the white world of America. This project lets the viewer explores a 2.626,415 square kilometer area in the big country of America, as it is, with its rich history in the past and present.

Fort Belknap is the shared homeland to the Gros Ventre tribe and the Assiniboine Tribes, who were historically enemies, with a total population of around 2.500 people.
