"Smoke Signals" is a historical milestone in Native American
filmmaking. Released in 1998 and based on a short-story collection
by Sherman Alexie, it was the first wide-release feature film
written, directed, coproduced, and acted by Native Americans. The
most popular Native American film of all time, "Smoke Signals" is
also an innovative work of cinematic storytelling that demands
sustained critical attention in its own right. Embedded in "Smoke
Signals"'s universal story of familial loss and renewal are
uniquely Indigenous perspectives about political sovereignty,
Hollywood's long history of misrepresentation, and the rise of
Indigenous cinema across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Joanna Hearne's work foregrounds the voices of the filmmakers and
performers--in interviews with Alexie and director Chris Eyre,
among others--to explore the film's audiovisual and narrative
strategies for speaking to multiple audiences. In particular,
Hearne examines the filmmakers' appropriation of mainstream
American popular culture forms to tell a Native story. Focusing in
turn on the production and reception of the film and issues of
performance, authenticity, social justice, and environmental
history within the film's text and context, this in-depth
introduction and analysis expands our understanding and deepens our
enjoyment of a Native cinema landmark.
