Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond takes an entertaining and insightful look at the Hollywood Indian, exploring the portrayal of North American Natives through a century of cinema.
Jeez. Show a trailer on how popular media has shaped public perception of what a Native person is "supposed" to be, and at least four people comment on how the music choice isn't Indian enough. Brilliant.
We saw this on PBS last night- FANTASTIC documentary film! We are going to buy this one. To answer a question asked here: Yes it is about Native Americans (mostly 'American' & Canadian Native Indians w/ maybe a touch Mexican)- yes it has Native music in it as well. Not only does this film show how Native Indians were/are (& for what reasons) looked upon - but also shows what influence we have all had over us - on many things. Important film. Laughed, cried and felt good to learn & connect.
