Milt Lee

Milt Lee has been producing video, audio and film for the past thirty years. He is an enrolled memeber of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe but was adopted out and away from his family. The public radio program, The Search for Indian, details his search for family.

During the ninties, Milt and his wife, Jamie Lee traveled over 110,000 miles into Indian country while recording their landmark series, Oyate Ta Olowan--The Songs of the People, a public radio series featuring over fifty Native American tribes. (visit www.oyate.com for more info).

In 2005 his film, Video Letters from Prison was awarded first place in short documentary in the Native Film Festival and in 2007 he was awarded the coveted Bush Artists Fellowship which allowed him a full year to pursue his art in film. 

In early summer of 2008 he hooked up with a couple of guys from SF, CA who are going to help him to complete a full length version of Video Letters From Prison for public television and for internet use. 

Milt continues to explore life on his video blog at www.hollowbonefilms.com.  He says he has posted a new piece every week since the beginning of the year so check it out.
