On Mother's Day, 2005 Lorna Blood died of a Listerine overdose.
Lorna was the mother of Jim Hillyer's three adopted siblings from
the Blood Indian Reserve. After attending her funeral in a run down
old church on the reserve and watching her being buried with three
garbage bags of clothes - all her earthly possessions - in an
unkempt cemetery, Hillyer felt compelled as a political philosopher
and as a brother to produce a documentary film about the plight of
the Kainai First Nation (the Bloods). It is commonly held that we
in the Western world stand for truth, justice, freedom, equality,
democracy, independence and prosperity. We cannot bask in our
understanding of constitutions and the principles of justice and
freedom and look back on the North American heritage of liberty and
prosperity and be justified to ignore the continuing plight of
those who live in cramped third world countries on our doorsteps,
whose residents still only receive the guaranteed $5/year promised
in 1877. The film and this book attempt to examine this issue. This
is not a book of despair but of hope. It does not attempt to place
blame but to share responsibility. In this compelling personal
journey, Hillyer gains insight not only into the disparity on the
Blood reserve, but finds that their tragic history and recent
achievements provide warnings against the pitfalls that will lead
individuals, families, communities and nations into poverty and
despair and provide lessons for everyone who wishes to help make
all of society more happy, prosperous and free. Join Jim Hillyer as
he explores the conditions on the Blood Reserve in Southern
Alberta. Enjoy this book as a supplement to Jim Hillyer's film,
Coyotes andIndians.
