Welcome to Chanupa Media — Where Storytelling is Sacred.
OUR NAME
Chanupa or chanupa wakan is the Lakota (Sioux) term for the sacred pipe. The ceremony in which a chanupa is smoked is equally sacred, as the chanupa connects physical and non-physical worlds through prayer, intention, tobacco, and smoke.
​
Chanupa Media believes in sacred storytelling, in authentic film making, and in consciousness raising through our efforts. Like those who carry the sacred chanupa, we strive to bring moments of reflection, insight, and wisdom to our world; and our team is committed to setting the highest standards in everything we produce.
