My mother always told me, "No matter where you go in life, or how far, you will always come home."
I shot this video when I returned to the Wind River Indian Reservation in the fall of 2005. I am fascinated with how we are always and forever connected to our parents. But we tend to forget that our parents had full and complete lives as indiviuals befoe becoming our parents. My father served in the Korean War, he worked on the tribal ranch as a youth; a cowboy and a soldier.
I moved to Chicago in 1999 and often return to the rez. On this trip my mind kept wondering to a letter we found in our mother's belongings; a letter that my father wrote while he served in the US Army when he had left the reservation, and a reminder that, as my mother said, he returned home.
