The project, conceived by Sibilla Drisaldi and Donald Buddy Hatch, is divided into several parts, including an exhibition that recounts the journey of freedom and resistance of the indigenous peoples of the United States through images, traditional objects, music, and testimonies.

The project also includes the documentary Wounded Knee on the history of the struggles for Native American rights, land protection, and cultural rebirth from the 1970s to the present.
