Pipestone
LTK1440269364X
Native American narrator, an older male, a good storyteller. Open to auditions from any tribe with a preference for Lakota/Dakota.
Film for Pipestone National Monument in Minnesota. The park is a unit of the National Park Service and a real treasure. Pipestone is the site where most of the material used in creating Indian ceremonial pipes is quarried. The site has been worked for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years and Native Americans, and only Native Americans, still work in over 50 quarry sites on the park property today.
This narrator must not just read the script – but feel the meaning of the words and convey to the viewer a heartfelt connection to Pipestone. A slight dialect is fine; people of the Lakota and Dakota nations have a somewhat natural affinity for Pipestone primarily because they live relatively close to the site. But all nations use and prize the pipestone material. So we are open to auditions from any tribe with a preference for Lakota/Dakota.

Further Notes:
We cannot accept any auditions with watermarks. Our clients, well-established advertising and production professionals, will not listen to auditions with watermarks.
We apologize in advance for not being able to rate your auditions. While we sincerely do understand the importance of this, we are under terrific deadlines and literally do not have the time to give you the feedback you deserve.
We do appreciate the time you spend to audition and we listen to each and every one of you who respond. If we have deleted your audition, it does not mean that we didn't like it, simply means it wasn't the right voice for this project and we look forward to hearing you for our next posted project.

Script Details
Yes
N/A
Sample of the script for audition purposes:
1) More than fifty quarries still exist at Pipestone today. Only enrolled members of tribes recognized by the U.S. government are allowed to quarry here. The wait to get a permit for a quarry can take five years - or even longer. But the search for Pipestone can become a lifelong journey.
2) Our people continued to use the quarries as they have for thousands of years. Then, George Catlin, a famous artist, came to paint our quarries. He sent a piece of our sacred Pipestone away to be studied. The white man came up with a different name for our Pipestone. They began calling it ‘Catlinite’.
After Catlin would come many more. Watching was a chief of the Yankton named Struck-by-the-Ree.
3) So much of the lands the creator gave us is gone forever. But Pipestone shows that all was not lost. Like the prairie and the buffalo, we nearly vanished. Today, that same prairie grows strong here. We too remain - strong and proud.
Against all odds, we have survived. And so has our place of peace. Pipestone.
