Barry Lopez – Part Two

Our 2011 film interview with author Barry Lopez for the Standing on Sacred Ground series yielded an embarrassment of riches. Barry’s written works explore the relationship between nature and human culture and include Arctic Dreams, for which he received the National Book Award, Of Wolves and Men, and his most recent masterwork, Horizon. Barry Lopez was a master storyteller, though for project director Toby McLeod, he was also a close friend and ally. In Part Two of this two-part podcast, Barry reflects on the future of sacred sites, the role of technology in our lives, and the importance of following the leadership of the elders. For more information visit Barry’s website. This episode was produced and written by Hannah Wilton and Toby McLeod, edited by Callie Shanafelt Wong and recorded by Isaac Butler-Brown at Dirt Studios. Our film interview with Barry was recorded by Andy Black and Dave Wendlinger, along with co-producers Jessica Abbe and Jennifer Huang. Our theme music was composed and performed by Stefan Smith and Charles Johnson. We welcome you to download and play the podcast for personal use.
