The film industry and mainstream popular culture are notorious for
promoting stereotypical images of Native Americans: the noble and
ignoble savage, the pronoun-challenged sidekick, the ruthless
warrior, the female drudge, the princess, the sexualized maiden,
the drunk, and others. Over the years, Indigenous filmmakers have
both challenged these representations and moved past them, offering
their own distinct forms of cinematic expression. Native Americans
on Film draws inspiration from the Indigenous film movement,
bringing filmmakers into an intertextual conversation with
academics from a variety of disciplines. The resulting dialogue
opens a myriad of possibilities for engaging students with ongoing
debates: What is Indigenous film? Who is an Indigenous filmmaker?
What are Native filmmakers saying about Indigenous film and their
own work? This thought-provoking text offers theoretical approaches
to understanding Native cinema, includes pedagogical strategies for
teaching particular films, and validates the different voices,
approaches, and worldviews that emerge across the movement.
