Walk Like a Warrior: The Apache Skateboards Story
'Walk Like a Warrior' unveils the entrepreneurial spirit of a Native owned and operated skateboard company on the Apache Reservation. 'Walk Like a Warrior' represents Native pride, history and culture in a unique, bold and innovative way. With the help of skateboarding, the Apache Skateboards crew rolls right past tired cliches, stereotypes and myths about Native Americans in the 21st Century.
