I was blown away by this film. I've taught about Eisenhower's relocation plan (shipping young adult Native Americans away from their homes, into cities to "assimilate" them into mainstream culture), and I know people who were relocated. This movie is the first look of the phenomenon I've seen that was created at the time it was happening. Most Americans have no idea this happened.
Kudos to Alexie and Burnett for getting this film, never theatrically released, out there. |
