"Ancient Pathways – Modern Leaders"Ancient Pathways – Modern Leaders
(2011, 45 min.) US
A Film by Silver Bullet Productions

Along the Rio Grande Valley and in Western New Mexico, 19 Pueblo communities maintain a traditional way of life within the contemporary world. For over a thousand years the Pueblo peoples have more than just survived, they have endured. Ancient Pathways – Modern Leaders was inspired by leaders of several of New Mexico’s Pueblos. The documentary explores the journey of a Pueblo leader — the selection process identifies leaders for their character, knowledge, and passion for community survival. It depicts the model of leadership that has sustained a culture for more than a thousand years.
