Dawn was in the Army, now she's a tribal cop in the midst of an oil boom that threatens to pull the last threads of her Native culture apart. Patty is a wanderer, criss-crossing the globe teaching self-defense to women, but now bringing that knowledge home to the Great Plains of her people. Chalsey works in tribal law writing anti-sex trafficking code. Arming Sisters is the story of how these three and other remarkable women are fighting to heal a society crippled for far too long by violence against indigenous women.

Arming Sisters is a feature length documentary co-produced by Brad Heck and Willow O'Feral (snippetproductions.com). The film is currently in production. Visit armingsistersmovie.com to learn more and support the film.
