Wyoming native Ian Munsick wove Western imagery throughout the narrative of his sophomore album White Buffalowith one of the main tenants of the work being his passion for his home region and the relationship between the land, animals, cowboys and Native American tribes.
From January 26, Munsick's documentary White Buffalo: Voices of the West will be available on streaming platforms. Initially, the film will be available on Apple iTunes, Apple, Google Play, Microsoft, Kanopy (Libraries), Vudu, YouTube Rentals and Amazon TVOD. After 60-90 days, the movie will be available on Freevee, The Roku Channel and Tubi.
White Buffalo: Voices of the West expands and deepens the album's themes by featuring conversations with Blackfoot Tribe Pro Buckin' Horse producer/entrepreneur Dougie Hall, as well as Crow Tribe horse breeder/trainer and actor Stephen Yellowtail, as well as Sammy Jo Bird , cowgrirl from the Blackfeet Nation.
“Some of the best kept secrets are out there, thriving, where the prairie meets the mountains,” Mansick said in a statement. “I was lucky enough to be born and raised in the heart of cowboy country, mostly untouched by the outside world. It is a culture where cowboys and Native Americans are the same. I have always wanted to use my platform to shed light on what has been hidden for decades, and Voices of the West it was a great way to convey an important message while collaborating artistically with a people who rarely have the opportunity to have their voices heard.”
The documentary first premiered in December to an intimate crowd gathered at the Beverly Theater in Las Vegas during the National Finals Rodeo. Following the screening, the cast was joined by Tohono O'Odham Nation director/filmmaker Cam Mackey and executive producer Caroline Munsick for a panel discussion moderated by film, television actor and enrolled member of the Lakota Nations, Mo It brings abundance.
