Spirit of the Peaks (2021)
For Hunkpapa Lakota skier Connor Ryan, skiing in Ute Territory has always raised questions about being in reciprocity with the land and its people. As an Indigenous person and skier, he empathizes with the injustices that have displaced the Utes and ongoing colonization impacting the Ute people. This story connects conflicted pasts to an awakening in cultural awareness that can create an equitable future for Indigenous people and skiers.
