ReZervation Nation Introduction Official Trailer #1

ReZervation Nation San Carlos Apache Tribe Official Trailer #2

ReZervation Nation Promo Teaser December 2016

What started out as Camp Media support at Standing Rock in 2016 has evolved beyond the NoDAPL pipeline campaign. By hands on experience, Nick reveals a point of view into the historical trauma and modern effects of colonization Native people of American Indian Reservations are challenged with. Through intimate conversation and direct front line action Nick focuses on a shady land-swap between the U.S. Government and a multi-national mining company for three million dollars for the fracking extraction of what is believed to be one of the largest copper ore’s in the world. But on top of that sits an ancient religious land to who are now known as the San Carlos Apache. The area is registered as a National historic Preservation Site. We also take an in-depth tour into the Pine Ridge Reservation stricken by the affects of border towns and the alcohol targeted towards Native People.
