the top costs for everyone who wants to know more about the topics that concern us about this story is beyond the headline world in progress. t w. o . in cinema, as in history, data, people have always been present. but throughout the years, how hollywood has affected native 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, when the best actors building to the killers of the flower moon. she spoke in blackfoot for native tongue, phoenix, weeks. miss an incomplete document that those 6 it gets to be near the got the got it took hollywood nearly a century to finally show indigenous people on spring free from stereotypes include shays but long before little gladstone striped native stars were making movies. the 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 to just people of were not at the margins of the screen. they were at the

center 3 world war, one in the silent era. it was a real, a 100 and an audience, a see what they called indian drama. story was the silent movies were a mixed bag. 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 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, a steven host of the oscars and 1934. so the only native american to do so the most of the early indigenous stars have been forgotten replaced by an image of native americans drilled into the culture by hundreds of hollywood western the . we all know the stereotypes, the brave white cowboy fighting the savage indians to bring civilization to the wild west. imagine you're an indigenous person watching one of these classic hollywood westerns. who would you identify with the cowboy or the indeed, the 3 watching these westerns and the stereotype is that the indians are stupid and they always get killed old. and when i found out it was an indian,

it's like, you know, you did the, you don't want to be about the colors, 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 the america as well, 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, it 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 as wider? consider john ford's 1939 film stage, about a group of settlers traveling west who get attacked. what ford doesn't mention is

that it's the settlers or the real invaders here. it's apache 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 lessons also engaged 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 t p 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 kind of student that, 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 in, did use characters back in the spotlight the by the early 1940 some of 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 a broad 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 western in broken arrow from 1950 jean stewart please of armies go to negotiate a peace treaty with apache leader to cheats. the film put its native and white characters on equal footing. the do you think because i am an

indian, i'm a fool you can quickly, 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 up to 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 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. new your revisionist westerns 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 20s with movies that he did, that was really, i think the 1st time that really resonated that i went pay, 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 new western moment in west germany predating little big man like almost a decade. you had the winter to phil's adventure stories based on german novels

about her role. it apache chief one or 2 and his white blood brother old shot her hand, the bible, find east germany, steep run deepest studios have its own indiana silver which were our historic stories. told them anita, perspective the digits, communities acted to stand ins for socialist ideals and interior. this native funding agreed and imperialism of the us army. but these german west ends also featured read facing windows who was played by frenchman beer police to come see by german, serbian actor. quite cool. me touch the 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. i think about what you grown up watching is being

indian. it's always, again, that romantic notion of like, you know, being in the while it's really romanticized and never, never done by actually indigenous people erotically 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 plays. then kevin costs, owners dances with wolves costner, police 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 it, 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 costs are as 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 said your 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 beat 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 side. yeah. 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 watching it

because it's part of monte actors. people. i know what our problem advocates framing of native history. the success of dances with wolves, sparks new interest anita stories worldwide. i mean the filmmakers stepped up to tell them the you're always trying to sound like some of them medicine man or some. i mean, how many times are we seeing dances when was the 10200 we 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 the name of 1st of all indians and supposed to smile like that gets stolen. no.

like this, chris are smoke signals. the 1st major us film written, directed, and stirring indigenous people for many american natives. this was the 1st time they recognized themselves on screen as a 7 year old, a child it 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 used 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. busy the best i was the number one something months. um it was a very confronting phone. it was written by a mountie alsa the right sir. and made by molly director full body cost at a very significant portion of molly cruise. i may turn in the name of

the stuff is too young to dinner during the survey canadians and the most drug a milestone. 2001 with i have to now show at the fast runner, the 1st film written directed and acted entirely in the new language 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 is none of the 1st wave of native directive movies where he would shift. but they inspire the younger generation of indigenous filmmakers. including a then a known mallory director named type of what tv but there is more here right now.

he's a busy man. he's a mazda kava, choose your dog. well, it gets the most direct between and people for fun, for 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 pets because people were finally seeing themselves being presented in their own way or physically 5 their own people. thank you. boy. you want to get up to go to my name is tony. i'm a new lawyer so there is not a to see and do for robbery. shut up. can you use? he's in the same cell book is margie 30 more escaped. so he does a whole underneath the front with what spin got the got

the voice get, the splitting the my name is irene spears. i am from the cree nation in manitoba, canada native cold stories reframe need of history. canadian miniseries bones crows shows the generational trauma rock and 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 cathartic. have a feeling, the something that is coming.

we won't be able to protect the whole house. what we know from residential school is a, you know, some of these secrets are some of these things that we held in our families. i hadn't been released to now, hadn'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's going to come even when dealing with serious problems like alcoholism violence. so the legacy of colonialism, these native told stories, have hope, humor, and a spirit of resilience. and when, you know, we have survived as indigenous people throughout, throughout the world, even though governments have tried to annihilate us or show us off or chill,

our language is in our cultures. we're still here. the message that natives to be involved in telling their own stories appears finally to have reached tinseltown. so and hollywood is biggest movie star and it's most the claim director try to tell the story about native history. they knew they needed help. the was 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 needed is 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, whats 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 islands? how are you going to pay to pet 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 key scene. for ernest visits molly at home and there's a storm coming the do you understand about our culture? he said, for example, when i was a young kid or 5 of 6, i'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, sits still. so there's a storm coming and she said, sit and be quiet and let the blessing of the strong the content is giving us. but

it wash over us. and we had 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 discuss lacrosse, that's for sure. it's s p still originally the theme is that we're drinking and some he gets drunk and she can hold and liquor and that's her. 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 that down with the osage, 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. they needs to be

a native made and native directed and native risk risk and there's no vague story. but everybody agrees on the lead. gladstone native r this worldwide are cheering on for success. the lily gladstone being nominated for an oscar, you know, she talked and, and black foot 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 with the flower moon, to a brighter future. 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 our so i'll give you

some ancient native american wisdom here. let's just beginning serious reservation dogs will take what the d and seminal filmmaker starland hard. you kind of gang with both right, amber and the mafia couldn't make up their mind. they want the blood to print. well, maybe they're good. it's happening. it's like i'm getting like shells 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 people whether the invention, histories or futuristic sy fi, fantasy, western queer 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 artist told her own story of the job with a glad go past that. will escape that letterman jacket, i black go back. the
