There is an accompanying website which you will find HERE too.

Rich Hall - Inventing the Indian

11/22/2012

0 Comments

 
Picture
Absolutely fantastic programme but bear in mind there is a PARENTAL ADVISORY with this one. Some of the language is a bit strong but Rich raises some excellent points. Click the break if you are over 16 and want to view.

Comedian Rich Hall goes in search of the real American Indian, a people who have too often been stereotyped. This image portrayed through cinema and literature is not a true representation of the Native American, giving Rich the opportunity to redress the balance.

With the help of Native American, Dallas Goldtooth, Rich explores a different idea of what the American Indian is and what life is like for them today. He not only questions the screen image of the 'savage Indian' in films such as Soldier Blue, Stagecoach and A Man Called Horse, but looks at the written one, through literature such as The Last of the Mohicans, Black Elk Speaks and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.

To understand why Americans believe their nation to be innocent of imperialism we must go back to the Founding Fathers of the Republic, says Graham MacPhee.
