On August 14, 2001 at 10 p.m., most PBS stations in the United States will air a documentary film entitled "In the Light of Reverence," which chronicles Native American struggles to protect their sacred places.

The film was produced by Christopher (Toby) McLeod, Malinda Maynor (Lumbee) and the Sacred Land Film Project of Earth Island Institute. It documents the efforts of three native communities in three different regions: the Wintu in northern California, the Hopi in the Four Corners region of the Southwest, and the Lakota in the Black Hills.

The film will be nationally broadcast on P.O.V. ("Point of View"), the groundbreaking PBS documentary showcase in August and then rebroadcast on many PBS stations in November as part of Native American Heritage month.
