the top costs for everyone who wants to know more about this topic. the 2nd son of about this story is beyond the headline world in progress, dw, talk caught in cinema as in history, data, people have always been present. but throughout the us, how hollywood has affected need of characters and their history does change radically. now indigent still makers 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 circle. 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 screen. free from stereotypes include shades, but long before little gladstone stripes, 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 this is people of,

we're 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 mix back 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 rate. anyway, native stars like james young, dear, an empty coped 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, a steven hoss of 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 india? the are you watching these westerns and the stereotype is that the indians are stupid and they always get killed. 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 car 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 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 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 by who's 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 bankers 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 west friends also engage in red, facing casting white actors to play natives. practice mock them, 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 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 introduced 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. he 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. jean stewart, please. an army scouting negotiates 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 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, are 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 level 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 good ones and the natives. the victims plain 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 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 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 the venture stories based on german novels and

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 our historic stories told from the native perspective the digits, communities acted to stand ins for socialist ideals and team here list native funding. the greed and imperialism of the us army with these driven westerns, also featured read facing windows who was play by frenchman, beer police to come see by german serbian actor going home each 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. 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 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 cost. there's dances with walls costs in our place. a us army soldier who leaves 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 men digits, 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 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, go to them to look over learning their language and instructing them on how best to stay there 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 customers 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 hill row, a white man coming to the rescue of the embattled indigenous people of pandora, after making their traditions is all a dozen. so what type saves you type is not going away. you know, the, the top 2 thumbs of the world. i think i've ever tied to an ever 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. 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 you seen dances, 10200? i have seen that that many times i haven't 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 any american natives. this is the 1st time they recognize themselves on screen as a 7 year old 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 and 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 wasn't in the film, you know, it was like a very independent stone, but a new zealand. it was a blockbuster. it was the number one stump months. it was a very confronting film that was written, the mountie alsa, the right sir. and made by molly director old body cost at a very significant portion of monte cruz. i may turn in the name of

the young to dinner during the survey canadians and the most broken milestone. 2001 with i 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 need of filmmakers and left the old, wild west show behind. and they weren't looking back. none of the 1st wave of native directive movies were a huge hit, but they inspired a younger generation of indigenous filmmakers including a then a known mallory director named type of what do you think there's 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 for fun stuff, for most people with one hand. when he comes home, he's taking me to see michael judson 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 find their own people. thank you boy. you want to get up to to go to my name is tony who does not have a seat in jail for robbery. shut up. can you, you know, use he's in the same cell block is margie anymore, escaped. so he does a hole underneath the front with what

a spin got wasted. my name is alia, spears i am from the cree nation in manitoba, canada. your native cold stories reframe native history. canadian mini series bones pros shows the generational trauma rock on 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 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 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 pulled 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 was to hear the message that natives should be involved in telling their own stories appears. finally, to have reached tinseltown. so in hollywood, because movie star and it's most the claim director tried 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 those age needed by white man. many married native women leaving r dicaprio as character ernest to mary's. molly played by lily gladstone and 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 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 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 scorsese to completely change a key scene for earnest visit smally 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 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 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 lacrosse judge for sure says be still originally the same is that we're drinking and some he gets drunk and she can hold the liquor and that's or so now this is more interesting, but it's that sense. so that's so much also about the different cultures. the totally different culture. yeah, i'm here, it's in the, in the sense i found with the sage 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 there's and all that story. but everybody agrees on the gladstone native r as worldwide are cheering on for success. lily gladstone, being nominated for an oscar, you know, she talked and, and blackfoot, and you know, at her award 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 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 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 disturb you. 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 seminole filmmaker stolen hard. you kind of gang was both right and in 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 peoples whether the invention, histories or futuristic sy fi fantasy western clear. um, you know, uh any genre because its indigenous people were like, well, our imaginations are incredible. native characters be 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 go back that will escape the letterman jacket i but go back. the or the

green is hope safe. the world with empathy. our self contained can waste materials and waste to extract nature with very light . it's like, you know, separate useful kitchen goals. i can find the c o 2 weeks. how you create your oxygen to the same time in 30 minutes. oh, d, w eco, africa,
