A great deal has changed in the understanding of the history and culture of Native American tribes. Movies are now offering a more balanced depiction of history.

While work remains to both include Native American stories in mainstream media as well as to cast indigenous actors for their parts in movies instead of their white counterparts (the pervasive trend of whitewashing still exists in Hollywood), there are numerous films that accurately portray Native Americans and/or explore the issues facing them as a culture, their history, and their place in society. We will see clips of the history of early Westerns and their portrayals of Native Americans through the years, the rise of prominent Native American actors and filmmakers, and the popular or standout films and filmmakers that feature Native Americans.
Presenter: Greg Blank - A Long Island based filmmaker, film historian and lecturer, Greg has over 15 years of experience as a producer, director, cinematographer and editor.
