KIANA'S APACHE CEREMONY
In the middle of the White Mountain Apache reservation near Pinetop, Arizona, Kiana, a twelve-year-old Native American girl, prepares to celebrate her passage into adulthood. Surrounded by her tribe, she bravely embarks upon her initiation ritual, a demanding experience filled with symbolism and colour, where song and dance intermingle from another time. Her journey through this ancestral rite of passage will instil her with patience and perseverance for the rest of her life.
