Native New Yorker

This documentary captures the essence of Manhattan through the perspective of Terry 'Coyote' Murphy, a Shaman Trail Scout. The film traverses historical sites from Inwood Park, symbolizing the island's early trade, down the path now known as Broadway, and culminates at 'ground zero', a site of deep historical significance. Each location tells a part of the story of Native Americans and their enduring legacy in the city.

The use of a hand-crank spring-wound camera adds to the film's authenticity and artistic presentation. The silent format paired with the original score immerses viewers in the experience, making it a unique representation of cultural history. This short film not only highlights the past but also connects it to the present, inviting reflection on the diverse narratives that shape Manhattan.
