This 1992 movie is based on real events. Director Michael Apted also releaded Incident At Oglala, which can be a companion film to this movie, as they overlap so much. While this is a fictional tale, it is 100% inspired by true events. There are many parallels from the American […]
This 2018 film (Directed by Miranda De Pencier) is based on the actual Grizzlies team from 2005. A community that had the highest suicide rate in North America, glommed onto the game of Lacrosse. Introduced to them by a non-Native American outsider Russ Sheppard. He uses the game to distract […]
Well well well…here we are episode 20! I had guest Natalie Benally on for this one and it was a fun chat! She is an actor/filmmaker/community advocate/dancer/choreographer and the list goes on. Most important she is all around wholesome person and advocate for accurate representation of Natives on screen. I […]
A Native is acknowledged in the same world as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman! Not only acknowledged but freaking a demigod himself! Napi! Come listen as I go over the plot review, Eugene Brave Rock’s casting, filmography, and discuss Native representation in this film. Wonder Woman is a fantastic film […]
I love Parasite and I’ve enjoyed re-watching this movie to prep for the episode. But if you were like me when seeing it for the first time, at one point in the movie you thought, “Wait is that a teepee?!” This thriller is ripe with twists and turns, including native […]
I go on a 15 minute rant about pretendians. If you’re not about that, I don’t recommend you listen to this one, skip it until next week. As a rez kid, it hits me different than someone not from a rez, or not brown, or not accepted by their community, […]
Can you believe it, episode 23! (Shoutout to Michael Jordan) I had to do the number justice and I feel like I did with this guest. Acee Agoyo is a co-founding member of Indianz.com and has been a journalist for the past 21 years. He is a Native man that […]
This 2016 movie directed by Antoine Fuqua, better than most remakes. Frankly we’re exhausted with remakes at this point. So it’s refreshing to see one that comes out that’s unique but also just a good stand alone movie. Thank god there isn’t going to be a sequel too, can’t stand […]
Who expected to see a Native trading post destroyed in a post apocalyptic world? I sure didn’t expect to see that when I saw this movie. That’s why it’s fun to talk about this native representation, because NO ONE is going to talk about this movie. I find that fascinating […]
Hey everybody! This was my first crack at a tv show and I thought I would do more free form than my usual format. I did my research and discussed the positives, negatives, and gave some final thoughts. Also I recorded a new intro! Lou Diamond Phillips again!? Well I […]
