In this 3-film Standing on Sacred Ground series, indigenous people around the world stand up for their traditional sacred lands in defense of cultural survival, human rights and the environment.

Standing on Sacred Ground: Islands Of Sanctuary (Film 3 of 3) follows Native Hawaiians and Aboriginal Australians as they resist threats to their sacred places in a growing international movement to defend human rights and protect the environment. In Australia's Northern Territory, Aboriginal clans maintain Indigenous Protected Areas and resist the destructive effects of a mining boom. In Hawai`i, indigenous ecological and spiritual practices are used to restore the sacred island of Kaho`olawe after 50 years of military use as a bombing range.
