podcasts, thanks. trace amount. that is no actually about meals. join us as we travel around your, facing the history of every day of that. and that's something right around the world . no need to talk about justice subscriber id, listen to paul. gosh, that will take you along to the right, the in cinema, as in history, data, people have always been present throughout the us. how hollywood has affected 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

little gladstone, when the best actors building to killers of the flower moon. she spoke in blackfoot for native tongue. phoenix so, so it's miss an incomplete document that those 6 it gets to be new. got the got it took hollywood nearly a century to finally show indigenous people on spring free from stereotypes include shays but long before a little gladstone stripes. native stars were making movies. the digital stories are nothing new. and hollywood from the start american directors were pointing their cameras. anita, people from the origins of american cinema. indigenous 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 bag, some propagating clearly racist stereotypes. others depicting more positive and complex indigenous stories. you had images of villains and noble indians. you had indian 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 free. anyway, native stars like james young deer, an empty coke actor, writer and director involved. and 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. stephen hosted the oscars in 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 western. th, we all know the stereotypes, the brave white cowboy fighting the savage indians to bring civilization to the wild west. imagine you are an indigenous person watching one of these classic hollywood westerns. who would you identify with the cowboy or the india? the are you watching these westerns and the stereotype is that the indians are stupid and they are always good kid old. and when i found out or was an indian,

it's like, you know, you did the, you don't want to be about the colors are probably, are there represented on the westerns the 1st hollywood western this talk to you from earlier forms of popular entertainment paintings. pope 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 ism in there in this country, as well as manifest destiny. i am sorry to say what happened to that boy who's our lives right. considered, john ford's 1939 film stage got about a group of settlers traveling west who get attacked before doesn't mention is that

it's the settlers who are the real and bakers here. it's a patchy land, it's indigenous land and they're all is represented on the margins as flattened. the western is solution on yours, honora, it is about invasion, but it is selling invasion as self defense. most hollywood restaurants also engage in red, facing passing white actors to play natives, practice mock them, the 2009 documentary real engine. the stereotypes of these old hollywood westerns continues to shake popular sentiment and popular perception of native peoples today. even nowadays people ask like, oh do you live in a t p really? 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, there's a 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 in, did use 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 at the west in broken arrow from 1950 jean stewart, please of army scale to negotiate a peace treaty with apache leader to cheese. 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 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 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, belief, 19 sixties and early seventy's hollywood sympathies entirely with the natives. new your 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 soldier are the good ones . and the natives, the victims plain hoffman's mentor is neat, an artist, an activist chief scan. george. he received an oscar nomination for his performance

. a 1st front indigenous act. i am blind, cannot find that i went wrong. if it's my duty to 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 germany who was having its own your western moment in west germany predating little big man like almost a decade. you had the winter to phillips adventure stories based on german novels

about her rolling apache chief, one or 2, and his white blood brother old shot her hand, the bible, find east germany, state run depot studios, have its own indiana film, which were our historic stories told them and they did perspective, they did just communities active, the stand ins for socialist ideals. and he really, as natives fighting agreed and imperialism of the us army. but these german westons also featured read facing windows who was played by frenchman beer 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 jeremy 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 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 around a play. it would take a big, hollywood star and the revival of the western to spark new interest in need of stories and a digital story dollars the in 1990. the western was considered box office plays. then kevin costs owners dances with wolves costner place a us army soldier who leads his former life behind to live with la coda. 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. you know, it's that kind of things and it's a sound comes out it 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 savior, narrative, pico is character, becomes a better look over 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 the 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 those 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 right side. yeah, tripe is not going away. you know, the, the top 2 films of the world, i think i've ever tied to when they have a dial one. and they're both white,

save the narratives, and start watching it because it's put a body act as people i know what our problem advocates framing of native history. the success of the dances with wolves spark new interest anita stories worldwide. and the, the filmmakers stepped up to tell the you're always trying to sound like some of them medicine manner. so i mean, how many times have we seen dances when 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 and cheese i guess i'll have to teach you that name. first of all. and even 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 for many american natives. this is the 1st time they recognize themselves on screen. as a 7 year old child, yet you don't necessarily relate to the 1700s when you're in teepees and black skin 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 wasn't in the film. you know, it was like a very independent stone. but in new zealand, it was a blockbuster, it was the number one stump the months. it was a very confronting film that was written by a mountie alsa the right to and made by monte director old body cost at a very significant portion of monte cruz. and they are telling me the name of

the stuff is to many young to dinner during the southern and canadians and the most drug of milestone in 2001 with i to not show up 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 need of filmmakers and left the old, wild west shall be hard. and they weren't looking back. as none of the 1st wave of native directive movies were huge here. but they inspired the younger generation of indigenous filmmakers. including a then a known malware director named cycle. what do you think?

there's more here right now. he's a busy man. he's a mazda carver. choose your dog. well, it gets the most directly team and people for punching the most people with one hand. when he comes home, he's taking me to see michael jackson lies the in. i live in the 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. you want to get up to go to my name is tommy newton. my day is not a to cease and do for roper shut up. can you use using the same cell brook? is margie 3 more escaped, so it does. oh, underneath the french was what screwed up. the got

the voice. good. my name is alia, spears i am from the cree nation in manitoba, canada. your native called stories reframe need of history. canadian mini series bones, crows, shows the generational trauma rock on native communities to the residential school system of the government, toward native children from their families, forcing them to convert to christianity and banning them from speaking native languages. the explosive purpose was to kill the indians in the child, the native communities, screenings of bones of pros. we're sorry to 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 that, you know, some of these secrets are some of these things that we held and our families hadn't been released. you know, haven't been told by members who with experience to so sometimes in this community is after watching bunch of crows, 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 cold stories have hope, humor, 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 our cultures to hear the message that natives to be involved in telling their own stories appears. finally, to have reached tinseltown. so when hollywood biggest movie star and it's most the claim director tried to tell the 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 those age natives by white men. many married native women, lee and r dicaprio, scared to ernest to mary's. molly play by lily gladstone in a conspiracy to seal the rights to their foil rich land. hungry planning is $200000000.00 epic. so square says he's 1st visit. was the osage country land

possible today. how smart everybody, marty went to the tribe 1st and he asked lake, 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 to picks 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. an honest age consultants let square says that you to completely change a key scene for ernest, visit smalley at home, and there's a storm coming. the you to understand about our culture is that for example, when i was a young kid or 5 or 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 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 excuse 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 on liquor and that's or so now this is more interesting, but it's that sense. so says so much will say 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 he 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 there's no of that story. but everybody agrees on the lead. gladstone native r this worldwide are cheering on for success. lily gladstone, being nominated for an oscar, you know, she talked and, and black foot and you know, at her award the acceptance 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 a native artist, so looking beyond killers of the flower moon, to a brighter future, were, 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 can be big bunch of fantasy like marvel movie 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 done a split. are you ready to give yourself to your country completely? which re imagines the residential school system as a futuristic distributor. it can be hor, like blood quantum from the lake 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 our so i'll give you

some ancient native american wisdom here. let's just beginning serious reservation dog's gonna take what cd and seminal filmmaker start len hodge. kind of gang was both right and wrong in the mafia. couldn't make up their mind, they wanted the blood the crew maybe to 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 peoples whether the indigenous stories are futuristic. sy fi fantasy, western clear. um, you know, uh, any genre because who its indigenous people worried like our imaginations are incredible. native characters being imagined don't screens today are authentic and complex. crazy took 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 glad to pass that will escape. let him a jack when i back go back the or the
