secrets lie behind these discovered mileage benches in 360 degrees and explore fascinating, both heritage spelling, dw, world heritage 360. now in cinema. as in history, data people have always been present. but throughout the years, how hollywood has to pick the need of characters and their history does change radically. now, indigenous filmmakers are beginning to tell their own stories. in hollywood and around the world, the the

with little gladstone, one, the best actress building to for killers of the flower moon. she spoke in blackfoot for native tongue. phoenix so so it's, it's an incomplete document that those 6 it get to be it's got the got it took hollywood nearly a century to finally show and digits. people on screen free from stereotypes include shays but long before a little gladstone trial. native stars were making movies. the and digital stories are nothing new. and hollywood from the start american directors were pointing their cameras and native people from the origins of american cinema. and it's just, people were not at the margins of the screen. they were at the center 3 world war,

one in the silent era. there was a real, a 100 and an audience, a see what they called indian drama. story was the silent movies were mixed back. some propagating clearly racist stereotypes, others depicting more positive and complex indigenous stories. you had images of villains and noble indians. you had india, white relationships or marriages that worked out. you had those that fell apart. and you also had mixed images of what they referred to as, quote of the evil half breed, but also the noble half rate. anyway, native stars like james young, dear, an empty coke actor, writer and director involved in the production of more than a $150.00 silent films. many with his wife, lilian, st. see, or, or red wing. they were the 1st native american hollywood power company for america's cowboy philosopher will rogers, a citizen of the cherokee nation. at one point rogers,

who starred in more than 70 films, was the highest paid actor in hollywood, or stephen hosted the oscars and 1934. so the only native american to do so. but most of the early indigenous stars have been forgotten replaced by an image of native americans drilled into the culture by hundreds of hollywood westerns. the . we all know the stereotypes, the brave white cowboy fighting the savage indians to bring civilization to the wild west. imagine you're in indigenous person watching one of these classic hollywood westerns. who would you identify with the cowboy or the in the, the 3 watching these westerns and the stereotype is that the indians are stupid and they always get killed. and when i found out i was an indian, a say,

you know, you did the, you don't want to be about the color as a power. you're the representative. then the westerns, the 1st hollywood western. this took their queue from earlier forms of popular entertainment paintings, pump novels and circus style spectacles that sold a particular image of the wild west, and invented history. that's all white settler expansion across america as both justified and inevitable, a concept known as manifest destiny. that goes back to wild west shows, it goes back to dime novels. and the paintings of that era, like frederick remington is, who we are as individuals, we very much are rooted in individual lives. i'm in there in this country as well as manifest destiny. i am sorry to say what happened to that boy who was our lives . right. considered john ford's 1939 film stagecoach, about a group of sellers traveling west who get attacked. what ford doesn't mention is

that it's the settlers who are the real and bakers here. it's a batch of land. it's indigenous land. and they're all is represented on the margins as flattened. the western is southern colonial genre. it is about invasion, but it is selling invasion as self defense. most hollywood, west friends also engage in red, facing passing white actors to play natives. practice mocked, and the 2009 documentary real engine. the stereotypes of these old hollywood westerns continues to shape popular sentiment and popular perception of native peoples today. even nowadays, people ask like, oh, do you live in a tv or like no, i live in a house. oh, does it have electricity? yeah. is that on the reservation? no. and do you guys ride horses to work every day? no, you know, does the government pay for things? no, i, i pay taxes. i have a ton of student debt. you know, many westerns made,

indigenous people background players and their own stories. it would take decades in a role reversal in the native narrative before hollywood put into these characters back in the spotlight the by the early 19 forties with america entering award. if like nazi germany, film showing white settlers shooting natives, wasn't a good look you was really wasn't interested in sending abroad images of white men killing indians, one by one that resembled too much fascist genocide. the end of the war brought a new kind of west in broken arrow from 1950. james stewart, please of armies, go to negotiate a peace treaty with apache leader to cheese. the film put its native and white characters on equal footing. the you think because i am an

indian, i'm a fool, you can trick least i would not have come here if i thought that a full season, only today it is because i respect you as a leader of your people that i think i've 2 more all the start having things like broken arrow with jimmy stewart and 1950, and anthony mans devil's doorway also 1950. both of those are our sympathetic westerns with strong and native characters, but played by white actors and red face, but there dramas of white sympathy, the late 19 sixties and early seventy's hollywood sympathies entirely with the natives. neil or revisionist restaurants like soldier, blue and little big man, flip the script, a manifest destiny, dustin hoffman, and little big man plays a white man, raised by the cheyenne, retails the old wild west stores. but now the cowboys and soldiers are the villains and the natives. the victims playing hoffman's mentor is native artist, an activist chief scan. george,

he received an oscar nomination for his performance. a 1st front indigenous act. i am blind in a fight that i wound from my danger die. i want to do it here within a sir. 2000 kilometers from hollywood and vancouver. a young native girl had found a role model that was kind of a huge moment because he lived in north town and he lives not that far away from where i live. and so i used to follow him. and so it was really kind of cool to see him and little big man and you know, some of the same piece with movies that he did, that was really, i think the 1st time that really resonated that i went, hey, wait a minute, that guys you know he's intention, us, and he's a big star, a world away german who was having its own your western moment in west germany predating little big man like almost a decade. you had the winter to fill adventure stories based on german novels about

her role apache chief, one or 2, and his white blood brother old shot her hand, the bind east germany, steep run deepest studios, have its own indiana film, which were historic stories told from the native perspective, the judges, communities acted a stand ins for socialist ideals, and clearly as natives fighting the greed and imperialism of the us. army with these driven westerns also featured read facing. when those who was blamed by frenchman b are police to come see by german, serbian actor quite cool, me touch a. but i'm like those manifest destiny films here. the indigenous characters are the heroes still need of filmmakers like those have come to germany for the berlin film festival. also find these heroic characters. problematic. what i often say to people is just think about the history of cinema. and think

about what you grown up watching as being indian. it's always again, that romantic notion of like, you know, being in the while it's very romanticized and never, never done by actually indigenous people. ironically it would take a big, hollywood star and the revival of the western to spark new interest in need of stories and, and digital story dollars the in 1990 the western was considered box office please. and then king kevin customers, dances with wolves costner, place a us army soldier who leads his former life behind to live with the code. combining the sweeping scale and imagery of the wild west shows and those john ford ero

westerns with a near western perspective of violent white man indigenous victims. the film was a mega hit, earning the equivalent of $1000000000.00 in today's money. the praise at the time for its sympathetic betrayal of native characters. dances with wolves has not aged well. maybe what you do is you've got to see the idea is that kind of things and it's a sound comes out is because cost those characters, the hero, and because low to depend on him to come to the rescue, the film is held up as an example of the so called white savior, narrative, pico is character, becomes a better look, go to them to look over learning their language and instructing them on how best to say to try and meet your shop. yeah, we could take a haitian and do you mind me and it's very

much like yeah, like, you know, natives always needed a savior or you know, natives had problems that we couldn't solve ourselves so we needed someone else to come do it. the white savior narrative is still very much with us. many critics, the a similar approach and cost centers hit series, yellowstone, and fear his new epic western horizon will again be a white gaze on native history those wagons. the in science fiction movies like avatar re purpose the same story with a roll of white man coming to the rescue of the embattled indigenous people of pandora. after making their traditions is on the civil side saves you a try, but it's not going away. you know, i, the, the talk to some of the will, i think i've ever tied to when they have a dial one. and they're both white savior narratives and all kinds of watching it

because it's part of monte actors, people. i know what our problem advocates framing of native history. the success of the dances with wolves sparks new interest anita stories worldwide. i mean, the filmmakers stepped up to tell the you're always trying to sound like some of them medicine man or something. i mean, how many times have you seen dances, a 10200 you have seen that, that many times it happens. you don't even know how to be real india, i guess not. no wonder geez, i guess i'll have to teach you that name. and 1st of all things, of course the smile like that gets stolen. no. like this,

chris are smoke signals. the 1st major us film written, directed and stirring indigenous people from many american natives. this is the 1st time they recognize themselves on screen as a 7 year old, a child, if you don't necessarily relate to the 1700s when you're in teepees and buckskin and stuff like that. sounds like smoke signals, which is really awesome that showed more modern natives a more modern struggles. years before in new zealand, lead time, a hari made once were warriors depicting mallory life from the inside. it struck a nerve from a north american perspective. it was an end the film, you know, it was like a very independent film. but in new zealand it was a blockbuster. it was the number one stump months. it was a very confronting phone that was written by monte alsa the right to and made by molly director full body cost at a very significant portion of monte cruz. and they are telling me the name of

the, of is too many young to dinner during the survey canadians and the most drug a milestone. 2001 with i to not show up the fast runner. the 1st film written directed and acted entirely in the new language. 6 that retails a centuries old and you with legend about occurs that destroys a village and a man forced to flee across the ice on foot. the film sold around the world, it was clear, native filmmakers had left the old, wild west show behind. and they weren't looking back or none of the 1st wave of native directive movies where he would shift. but they inspired a younger generation of indigenous filmmakers including a then a known mallory director named type of what but there's more here right now.

he's a busy man. he's a mazda kava choose a dog. well, it gets the most direct between and most people with one hand. when he comes home, he's taking me to see michael jackson lies the in. i live in a room village on the east coast and louisiana, very similar to, to a boy. and when the phone came out, we played it in that community holes and they were pigs because people were finally seeing themselves being presented in their own way or physically 5 their own people. thank you boy. to go to get up to go to my name is tony. i'm a new maya who does not have a seat and do for robbery. shut up. can you use? he's in the same cell block is margie 30 more escaped. so it doesn't go underneath

different with what spin got the voice splitting the my name is alien spears. i am from the create a nation in manitoba, canada, native cold stories reframe native history. canadian mini series bones pros shows the generational trauma rock or native communities to the residential school system of the government, toward native children from the families, forcing them to convert to christianity and banning them from speaking native languages. the explosive purpose was to kill the indians in the trial, the for native communities, screenings of bones of prose were pathetic. have a feeling, the something bad is coming.

we won't be able to protect the whole house. what we know from residential school is that, you know, some of these secrets are some of these things that we held and our families hadn't been released to now haven't been told by members who had experience to so sometimes in these communities, after watching bonds across you know someone from their own community would reveal experiences that they had, that not even, you know, their daughters knew there was going to come even when dealing with serious problems like alcoholism violence. so the legacy of colonialism, these native told stories, have hope, schumer and a spirit of resilience. and when, you know, we have survived as indigenous people throughout the world, even though governments have tried to annihilate us or show us off or chill,

our language is in their cultures to hear the message that natives to be involved in telling their own stories appears. finally, to have reached tinseltown. so and hollywood because movie star and it's most the claim director tried to tell a story about native history. they knew they needed help. the who is land is martin scorsese's killers of the flower movies set in 19 twenties, oklahoma tells the true story of a series of murders of osage natives by white men. many married native women leaving r dicaprio as character ernest to mary's. molly play by lily gladstone in a conspiracy to seal the rights to the oil rich land. hungry planning is $200000000.00 epic. so square says he's 1st visit. was the old sage country land

possible today. how smart everybody, marty went to the tribe 1st and he asked blake, can i tell this story? and when they had concerns of like, well, you know, like, what's the story going to be like? how are you going to pick the violence? how are you going to pay to pick the the sisters? how are you going to pick the family in the tribe? i think he very much listen to their concerns. no stage consultants let square says that you to completely change a pc or in this visit smally at home. and there's a storm coming the you to understand about our culture. he said, for example, when i was a young kid or 5 of 6 that'd be running around my house and my grandma would be there and. and then one day was running around, she goes, stop it, stop. it sits, sit still. so there's a storm coming. and she said, sit and be quiet and let the blessing of the storm. the content is giving us,

but it wash over us and we have to sit and let the storm pass and relish actually appreciate, appreciate the blessing of nature. storm is powerful. so we need to be quiet for a while, the lacrosse, that's for sure. it's uh space. do you originally the theme is that we're drinking and some he gets drunk and she can hold a liquor and that's or so now this is more interesting, but it's that sense. so it has so much also about the different cultures, the totally different culture. yeah, i'm here, it's in a, in the sense i found with the osage, i'm as a sense of giving, giving away giving gifts, giving and the layers group it's taking,

taking. there's plenty of violence and killers. it is a score, says the film after all. but the focus is on the personal furnace, intimate the trail of his wife, the violence of settler colonialism playing out on a domestic scale. but killers. the flower moon is still a native story told from the outside, from the perspective of a white man. the score says he kept saying, this is not the white hero like dances with wolves. no, it wasn't. it revolved around the white villain. so you still had a white person or anti hero. the center of the movie and the camera lingered constantly on dicaprio, and it really reinforced that he dominated that story. the night of the community looked at it and say, oh what a missed opportunity. but it needs to be

a native made and native directed and native risk risk and vision of that story. but everybody agrees on the lead gladstone native are this worldwide are cheering on for success. the lily gladstone being nominated for an oscar, you know, she talked and, and blackfoot, and you know, at her award i accept in speech and it makes us all proud. and it makes us all believe that we're, we're able to get there, you know, and uplift each other. that's why native artists are looking beyond killers of the flower moon, to a brighter future, where indigenous narratives are not bound by the stories of the past. the forget the world wish native made story telling today can be anything and

everything. it could be big bunch of fantasy like marvel movies for wagner, off from our director type of what do you do? you think flash sale it can be a low budget syfy like night graders from pre meetings, director dentist click. are you ready to give yourself to your country completely? which re imagines the residential school system as a futuristic disturb you. it can be hor, like blood quantum from the late mac, mac director jeff barnaby. it's about a virus that turns everyone non native into zombies. it can be comedy. oh, thank you for your donation. excuse me for my beauty now for i so give you some

ancient native american wisdom here. let's just beginning serious reservation dog's gonna take what cd and seminal filmmaker sterling hodge. kind of gang was both right. amber and the mafia couldn't make up their mind. they want the blood to print or maybe they're good. it's happening. it's like i'm getting like chills thinking about it, like there is things, there's so many things like to know reference that have been directed by indigenous people written by indigenous people produced by indigenous peoples. whether the invention, histories or futuristic sy fi fantasy western clear um, you know, uh any genre because its indigenous people worried like our imaginations are incredible. native characters being imagined on screens today are authentic and complex. crazy tick as contradictory and delirious.

the old era of 2 dimensional native villains and victims is past for the future. hollywood job will be to help indigenous artists tell their own story. with a guy will escape, the letterman jacket, i black go back the the the

will that be offered in the read. it's 10 times more political survivors in postwar, germany for them life after 1945 are today as ment, starting a new and processing the past. nazis are those other people, the ongoing struggle for remembrance and against denial in the land of the perpetrators coming up on dw
