Unbroken: Indigenous Peoples Today
Native Father and Daughter
Miniconjou Lakota warrior and dancer, Nick Ohitika Najin, shares a smile with his daughter Haleakalā while adjusting her hair braids.
When I asked Nick what is the most important element of his culture to pass to down his daughter, he replied: "It's not just passing down my culture, but because she's a woman, I want her to feel empowered. That you don't need someone to tell you what to do all the time. You as a little Native American indigenous woman, I'm always here to help you and guide you as a father, but you can do whatever you want."
