This 45-minute documentary was filmed at the annual inter-tribal powwow held in Warner, NH in July, 2006. The two-day event was hosted by the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum. Audience response to this movie has been very strong because the film goes behind the scenes and stereotypes of a powwow. Footage of the dance circle, the firekeeper, interviews with Indians from a number of different nations and perspectives give the viewer an introduction to the spirit of the powwow and the people who make it happen.

The movie features Gordon Manning, one of the few sawyers left in New England who still knows the craft of running the old 19th century circular-saw mills. Gordon’s mill was built around 1890 by the Lane Co. of Vermont which, at the time, was one of the major sawmill manufacturers in the Northeast. The film begins as Gordon fells trees, hauls logs to his mill and saws them into boards. He talks about his life and the craft of sawing, and then tours a modern high-tech sawmill as well as the State of NH's Taylor Sawmill, a restored 1820s water-powered "up-and-down" mill in Derry NH.
