Crazy Horse Memorial Film Festival lineup announced
Documentary screening to follow third annual Native American Tourism Summit
Three documentary films —“Corn Pollen Road Running Through Antelope Canyon,” “Wakanyeja Kin Wana Ku Pi The Children Are Coming Home” and “On The Ridge” — will screen at the Crazy Horse Memorial Film Festival in South Dakota on Nov. 4. The screenings begin at 2 p.m., and a Q & A with the filmmakers will follow.
The film festival follows the third annual Native American Tourism Summit. American Indigenous Tourism Association CEO Sherry L. Rupert is the summit keynote speaker. The event brings together professionals marketing cultural heritage tourism by non-Natives to tribal communities.
In an interview with Groups Today, Rupert said American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-owned hospitality businesses owned a $15.7 billion share of the overall market sector in 2025.
“We are the first people of this nation, and our domestic neighbors should (and want) to know more about us. A lot of our Indigenous communities are open to that, and more people should take advantage of the opportunity,” she told the publication. “Prioritize authentic, community-endorsed activities that benefit Indigenous communities economically and culturally.”
